The fundamental basis of the Livinguard Technology is its polycationic (multicharged) surface that acts to trap and destroy microorganisms without leaching. The Livinguard textile, with approximately 24 billion charges per square centimetre, acts as a positive “magnet” for the negative charges of viruses and bacteria. The microorganisms are thus trapped and safely disintegrated without leaching. This principle has been described in literature for almost two decades but its practical application has, until now, been very limited.
