Problem addressed

To combat the life-threatening viruses, there is an urgent need for antimicrobial materials that are suitable for surfaces of different textures. NAMI’s ABV formulation technology protects soft surfaces used in personal protective equipment (such as mask) and garments against a broad-spectrum of bacteria (Streptococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli) and Human coronavirus OC43 (HCoV-OC43), 229E (HCoV-229E) with efficacy more than 99.9%.

Innovation

NAMI’s ABV formulation is developed through a unique system, being not only durable, but also minimally affecting the appearance of the surface to maintain the surface’s original properties.
It does not contain toxic or allergenic ingredients, and has been further developed as a novel nano essential oil aqueous sanitizer, which provides a safe, effective and prolonged antimicrobial protection for skin.
