The recent pandemic and the growth in virus numbers have thrusted the issue of hygiene into prominence like never before. This has led to new cleaning behaviours within common public areas.

Disinfectants are widely used in cleaning protocols to reduce the spread of viruses. Although they demonstrate the rapid killing of targeted microorganisms, their effectiveness is limited in time.To enhance actual practices, new prevention tools should be deployed with continuous action properties like self-decontaminating surfaces.

Aiming to ensure permanent antimicrobial action, MAPA PROFESSIONAL partnered with PYLOTE to design a liquidproof glove that embeds a patented technology to limit the transmission of viruses and bacteria.

 

WHAT IS PYLOTE TECHNOLOGY?

Composed of mineral oxide microspheres, the technology comes from green-tech production process, in one manufacturing step using only air, water, and thermal heat, without any organic solvent, and generating no waste.

ALTO 405 ACTIVATED: A PROTECTIVE SHIELD

Both surfaces & workers are protected!

  • When cleaning surfaces, the glove reduces the risk of harmful viruses and bacteria being spread from surface to as it destroys 99%* VIRUSES & 99.99%** BACTERIA and it limits the cross microbial contamination
  • Glove protects the user’s hands are protected against viruses (EN 374-5) and common aggressive chemicals (EN 374-1)
  • While not a substitute for regular cleaning practices, the glove complements the action of disinfectants.

 

LONG LASTING ACTION

The antimicrobial action lasts for the expected lifetime of the glove.

 

WELL-PROVEN BENEFITS & STANDARDS

We succeeded in integrating this natural solution into our ALTO 405 whilst maintaining the well-proven performance and benefits of the glove.

  • COMFORT

Cotton flock lined improves comfort and limits perspiration in the glove

Anatomical design provides ease of movement

  • TACTILE SENSITIVITY

due to the gloves reduced thickness

  • GRIP

Good grip in wet environments thanks to the external non-slip texture

  • STANDARDS
