The mask protects against Covid-19 infection, but could it kill the coronavirus? This is the breakthrough that various companies around the world are trying, especially French ones, by developing virucidal masks, virus killers.
This is the case in Haute-Garonne, reports France Televisions, and in Lille, according to our colleagues from The voice of the North.
Against the coronavirus, test results are “very promising”, assure each of the companies in question.
“We obtain a complete elimination of the virus on the masks“
These virucidal masks, under development, will resemble traditional surgical masks. The difference will be on the material and the product established on it.
“The virus will be trapped in the mask and will be killed by the mask“, assures CEO Paul Boyé Technologies who is developing one of these masks.
How? ‘Or’ What? Professional secret. But we say on the business side that “This is 100% optimal on a broad spectrum of bacteria and also for the coronavirus. You get complete elimination of the virus on the masks.”
On the side of the Lille University Hospital, which is participating in the creation of one of them, we are talking about a “revolutionary mask”.
If they are validated, there would therefore be no more contamination possible by touching his mask. These virucides must now pass the last tests, on their effectiveness and the health risks with the products used, before being launched on the market.
