Following the Israeli scientists who created the reusable protective mask that cleans itself from charging for phone, about the unique development of the scientists said, and Portugal.
In particular, the development of announced Institute for molecular medicine in Lisbon, writes TASS with reference to the newspaper La Razn.
Specifies that reusable cloth mask coated with a special compound that neutralizes the pathogen. The effect persists even after 50 washings. The idea belongs to several companies: the textile manufacturer Adalberto, retailers MO and Sonae Fashion and CITEVE technological centre and two universities Institute of molecular medicine and State University of Minho.
The material consists of several layers of different waterproof fabrics, which are impregnated with the composition, destroying SARS-CoV-2. He pushes a large part of pathogen that enters the saliva that allows you to erase the mask less often.
MOxATech (the so-called mask) went on sale in Portugal in April, but its effectiveness has not been confirmed by tests. Now the authors tested its ability to neutralize the virus. During the experiments the tissue was immersed in a solution that contained a certain amount of pathogen, and then measured its viability after contact with the material.
A virologist from the Institute of molecular medicine Pedro SIMAS, who coordinated the tests, said that the experiments showed effective neutralization of SARS-CoV-2 even after 50 washings. The concentration of the composition which permeates the fabric were not changed after treatment with cold water.
Scientists also observed the reduction of viral activity by 99% after contact with the tissue. The compound effectively killed almost all bacteria and fungi on the surface of the material. The Pasteur Institute in France, in independent experiments have proved that it is also effective against H1N1 flu virus, as anti-SARS-CoV-2.
The mask has been certified by the French leaders Gnrale des Entreprises. The company noted that the material after a large number of washings consumes about 96% of harmful particles.
Authors of technology talked about some of the features of the mask in the presentation. According to them, to store it, it is not necessary to observe special conditions: tests have shown that lighting, temperature and humidity do not affect the effectiveness of the composition. In addition, over time the protective properties are lost and the composition is not tolerated on the skin or clothing during wear.
The developers said that when you create a mask focused on average people. It can also carry doctors, but it does not meet all medical standards, so wear a mask as part of the working clothes in hospitals is not recommended.
While the mask is only sold in EU countries, distribution rights are owned by MO, whose specialists participated in developing. It is expected that in the future the product will appear in stores outside Europe, including in Ukraine.
Earlier, the FACTS wrote that in India a man for protection against coronavirus bought a gold mask over 4 thousand dollars.
