Chilean Masks have proven to eliminate COVID-19 in less than 5 minutes

According to recent research conducted by the laboratory of Infectious Diseases’ Institute of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Bern, Switzerland, the fabric with copper nanoparticles developed by The Copper Company showed antiviral activity of SARS-COV-2, specifically, the Wuhan strain, achieving an 85% reduction in the viral colony in 5 minutes.

Luz Briceno, the founder of The Copper Company, said, “The textile created by the Chilean company is the first to be tested against the SARS COV-19 strain where the Bern study demonstrates the effectiveness of copper in textiles to combat the virus, establishing the company as a pioneer and world reference. Although it had been said in scientific papers that copper helped reduce the antiviral activity of some strains of Coronavirus, SARS, or influenza, it had not been specifically done with the Wuhan strain, which today has unleashed the pandemic, that is why it is so this study carried out in Switzerland is relevant”.

With this research, the Chilean company seeks to expand its market. For this, they work with a team made up of different science professionals, such as a specialist in infectious diseases and a biotechnologist, seeking to expand scientific knowledge about this essential local-raw material.

This year, what was known about copper was that it had antibacterial properties that allowed it to inactivate bacteria, mites, and fungi. No one was entirely sure about its effectiveness in fighting viruses, a concern that was exposed amid the public debate over the COVID-19 pandemic. In this context, the Copper Company, which manufactures technical textiles with copper nanoparticles, certified that its products effectively eliminate SARS-CoV-2, transforming this company into world references in creating masks and materials to combat the pandemic.
