Hecoll has come up with patented fabric that kills viruses, blocks UV rays and is eco-friendly too.
Founded by Deepthi Nathala, Hecoll—abbreviation for ‘Healthy Cover For All’ is a fabric that blocks 99% UV rays, filters 95% pollution and inhibits viruses and bacteria upon contact. With eco-friendly cotton at its base, Nathala figured out a method to bind the fabric with bodyguard molecules, that could filter particulate matter, block UV rays and kill viruses/bacteria upon contact. The fabric can protect people from various kinds of viruses like H1N1 and Covid-19 and bacteria like salmonella and E. coli, respectively. It also protects from pollen and filters out polluting gasses like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide. The fabric is used to make antiviral face masks, headgear for children and adults, baby wraps for new-borns, fanny bags, caps, hats, and items to prevent hospital acquired infections like patient gowns, doctor coats, bed sheet linen, surgical gowns, etc.
