Devan shows high activity of BI-OME against SARS-COV-2 and other viruses after intense washing

RONSE, BELGIUM – Devan today announces new test results confirming the high performance virus-reducing capabilities of its BI-OME fabric coating technology on both unwashed and intensely washed fabrics. According to independent testing, BI-OME is proven to achieve 99% and higher virus reduction, including of SARS-COV-2, on samples before washing and retains 98.5% even after 25 wash cycles.
“In view of the COVID-19 pandemic and fast-approaching autumn/winter flu season, we were keen to provide textile manufacturers with concrete assurance regarding virus reduction performance on washed samples according to ISO 18184. This exceeds the limitations of the post-wash antimicrobial results most commonly shared for other technologies, giving the textile industry a clear, more precise overview of performance and wash durability,” comments Sven Ghyselinck, CEO of Devan.

This exceeds the limitations of the post-wash antimicrobial results most commonly shared for other technologies, giving the textile industry a clear, more precise overview of performance and wash durability,” comments Sven Ghyselinck, CEO of Devan.

Over recent months, Devan has worked closely with a series of international third party laboratories to test different fabric substrates against a wide of enveloped viruses. Before washing, samples treated with Devan BI-OME score very good to excellent (99% and higher according to ISO 18184) results on virus reduction. Different substrates, like polyester, cotton and polycottons, were exposed to enveloped viruses like SARS-COV-2 (known to cause COVID-19), Feline Corona, Vaccinia (the EU standard for enveloped viruses) and Porcine Respiratory viruses. After 30minutes, BI-OME already reduced 99.96% of the activity of SARS-COV-2.

After washing, a decrease in virus reduction performance of coating technologies is normal and expected. However, BI-OME is confirmed to deliver only a minimal reduction, retaining up to 98.5% virus reduction even when the fabric is washed 25 times. Devan is further improving its formulas to improve wash resistance even more and at the same time keep the economical add-on cost as low as possible.
Devan’s BI-OME is already endorsed by a wide range of companies. Their collections span diverse applications including bedding, clothing, travel accessories, and transport.

BI-OME is a non-metal non-leaching quat silane-based chemistry. The product is BPR (EU, TR) and EPA registered and Ökotex class 1 registered. Through its nature it is inherently biodegradable.

Devan Chemicals: Einführung zweier biobasierter Produkte

Das belgische Unternehmen ergänzt sein biobasiertes Flammschutzmittel und führt auf der Heimtextil in Frankfurt biobasierte antimikrobielle und PCM-Lösungen ein

Devan Chemicals stellt auf der bevorstehenden Heimtextil 2020 in Frankfurt am Main zwei neue biobasierte Lösungen vor.

Natürlich antimikrobiell
Der verstärkte Einsatz nachhaltigerer Produkte hat auch alternative Lösungen zur Beseitigung störender Gerüche und zur Reduzierung der Allergene von Staubmilben mit sich gebracht. Viele Pflanzen und Blumen produzieren antimikrobielle Chemikalien bei Gefahren, wie Bakterien, Pilzen und Schimmel. In Lebensmitteln und Kosmetika werden immer mehr natürliche antimikrobielle Stoffe als Konservierungsmittel eingesetzt. Landwirtschaft und Großküchen nutzen schon seit vielen Jahren pflanzliche, leicht abbaubare und geringtoxische Schädlingsbekämpfungsmittel. Diese natürlichen, bioziden Inhaltsstoffe inspirierten Devan zur Entwicklung einer neuen Produkttechnologie gegen Geruchsbildung und Staubmilben. BI-OME Natural ist eine natürliche, biobasierte antimikrobielle Lösung, um die optimale Frische und Hygiene von Textilien sicherzustellen. Ihre aktiven Inhaltsstoffe sind das bekannte Leinöl aus den getrockneten, gereiften Samen der Flachspflanze und Chrysanthemum aus den Samen von Margeritenblumen. Die aktiven Inhaltsstoffe in BI-OME Natural sind organisch, GMO-frei, biologisch abbaubar und recycelbar. BI-OME Natural wird auf der Heimtextil in den Kollektionen von Standard Fiber präsentiert.

Biobasierte PCM
Tones of Cool Bio ist eine patentierte Kühltechnologie zur Ableitung überschüssiger Körperwärme aus Textilien, um auf diese Weise auch unmittelbar die Körpertemperatur zu reduzieren. Die in Tones of Cool Bio verwendeten PCM werden aus nachhaltigen, natürlichen Quellen gewonnen.
Die PCM haben –abhängig von der Temperatur – die Form eines kristallinen Wachses oder einer öligen Flüssigkeit und sind rein pflanzlicher Natur. Darüber hinaus sind sie weniger leicht entflammbar als PCM auf Paraffinbasis. Die biologische Basis der Technologie ist nach geltenden DIN-Kriterien zertifiziert.
Kollektionen mit Tones of Cool Bio werden auf der Heimtextil von Standard Fiber, Tisseray und Comfy Quilts gezeigt. Die Technologie ist zunächst nur für Bettwaren lieferbar.

BI-OME®, Devan’s recently rebranded antimicrobial solution, has been launched with interesting extra features. The speciality chemical provider has combined its antimicrobial technology with other functional finishes in its product range and now offers a variety of combinations:

  • BI-OME® Quick dry combines the antimicrobial properties (for odour control) with advanced moisture management properties to promote efficient and faster evaporation to aid cooling and comfort.
  • BI-OME® Stretch combines the antimicrobial solution with stretch recovery properties for better fit.
  • A more revolutionary variation is BI-OME® AV, which has an antiviral activity in addition to its antimicrobial properties.
  • Of course, BI-OME®, the antimicrobial solution without any extra features, remains available.

Devan’s experience with antimicrobial technology goes back a long time. More than 25 years of research led to the creation of the BI-OME® product range. Thanks to the combination of a cross-border support package (mill training, quality control, etc.) and unique product excellence (non-migrating, no use of silver), Devan’s antimicrobial technology is widely chosen across the globe.

BI-OME® is fully BPR and EPA compliant, Oekotex and Bluesign registered, can be delivered worldwide and is applicable for apparel, home textiles, bedding, transport & mobility, etc.
