The ultimate futuristic masks designed using the most innovative & groundbreaking natural copper technology! Be HeiQ MetalliQ!
HeiQ MetalliQ doesn’t only look metallic. The mask with a patented technology & design actually contains an ultra-thin natural copper coating applied via a high-tech vapor deposition process, called HeiQ MetalliX, which converts a minute amount of copper into vapor, allowing it to be deposited evenly to surround each fiber. HeiQ MetalliX is a patented technology, created by HeiQ’s innovation partner, Australian technology company, Xefco. Studies conducted by the Peter Doherty Institute for Infection and Immunity in Melbourne, Australia (Doherty Institute), showed that fabrics treated by the HeiQ MetalliX technology deactivated 97.79% of the infectious SARS-CoV-2 virus (the virus that causes COVID-19) in as little as 5 minutes. No less important is that it is a truly visible textile technology that serves to support brands and sellers to convince customers.
HeiQ MetalliQ is manufactured as a class 1 medical device by HeiQ Medica in Spain where we also conduct R&D activities for functional medical devices. Throughout the development of the HeiQ MetalliX technology, Xefco worked closely with long-standing research partner the Institute for Frontier Materials (IFM) at Deakin University as part of the world-class ARC Research Hub for Future Fibres, of which HeiQ is also a member.
