Why Copper?
Throughout the COVID-19 Pandemic, there has been an increased concern surrounding the ease at which pathogens can attach to clothing, and further spread.
Copper has the ability to fight viruses by self-disinfecting its surface. The term ‘contact killing’ has become well-known and refers to copper's ability to destroy bacteria and viruses.
How It Works?
This is the process of copper ions deconstructing and eliminating pathogens.
(1) Copper ions destroy the cell membrane and invade the cell
(2) The cell loses its internal structure, nutrients, and water through the damaged cell membrane
(3) The rapid increase in copper ions causes damage to the cell’s DNA, which leads to the cell’s death, 99.94% within 30 minutes
