WHAT IS HYGIAFELT®-Cu?

Hygiafelt®-Cu is a new antimicrobial filtering media by Ajelis, an innovative France-based company that specializes in engineered textiles for water and air pollution control.

Ajelis has developed a method for loading fibers with copper in a stable and secure way. Copper possesses potent biocidal properties.
Here, the copper-loaded  “contact  killing”  filtering media traps and neutralizes bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores.

Hygiafelt®  is nanoparticle-free and does not emit any secondary compounds. Self-decontaminating and reusable, Hygiafelt® is sustainable. The filters are machine washable and can also be sterilized in a medical autoclave to comply with cleaning requirements.

Biocidal efficacy:  Hygiafelt®  is proven effective against microbial colonies such as Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae (AATCC  100  tests  by  Eurofins),  Escherichia  coli  (tests by the CEA in Fontenay-aux-Roses);  antiviral  efficacy was demonstrated on the human coronavirus HCoV-229E (ISO 18184 tests by Biotech Care).
