CILliv             livinguard®

   Fabriques coated with LIVINGUARD®

   LIVINGUARD® Technology that actually sterilizes the air that passes through the mask,
    killing bacteria and viruses that can slip through.

   LIVINGUARD® uses a novel approach of neutralizing bacteria and viruses on a
    molecular level.

   LIVINGUARD® uses charged ions to disrupt the atomic structure of bacteria and/or
    viruses, rendering them “inactive”.

   LIVINGUARD® is certified as 100% safe by "Product Safety Labs", USA

CILvir              HeiQ Viroblock
   Fabriques coated with HeiQ viroblock including Silver & Vesicle components

Function of Silver component
 Small silver particles are potent “antimicrobial and antiviral agents” due to high
   surface area to volume ratio and unique chemical and physical properties

   Small silver particles are effective against viruses, effectively eliminating them
    following short exposure of isolated viruses to silver

   Silver interacts with the sulfur-bearing moieties of viruses and can form complexes
    with electron donor groups leading to inhibition of post-entry stages of infection
    through blocking viral proteins

   HeiQ small silver particles contribute to a broad spectrum of anti-viral mechanism

CILvir              HeiQ Viroblock
   Fabriques coated with HeiQ viroblock including Silver & Vesicle components

Function of Vesicle component

   HeiQ Viroblock vesicle technology functions by directly targeting the lipid envelope
    (membrane) surrounding the virus

   The vesicle structures rapidly deplete cholesterol from the viral envelope exposing and
    destroying the virus

   The vesicle destroys the virus through a physical contact mechanism in seconds
