Antimicrobial masks now available at ETH Store
The ETH Store has entered into a partnership with ETH spin-off HeiQ to offer antimicrobial masks to the ETH community. The masks are treated to provide highly effective protection against microbes and germs.
Founded in 2005, HeiQ is an ETH spin-off that develops chemicals to equip textiles with special properties such as being anti-static, water resistant or odour neutral. Currently HeiQ has been enjoying success with its antimicrobial textile treatment, which has been shown to be effective against SARS-CoV-2*. According to HeiQ, this product is responsible for more than doubling the company's revenues in the first half of 2020. HeiQ has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since December 2020.
In addition to ETH masks treated with anti-virus technology, you can also purchase HeiQ tube scarves and gloves from the ETH Store. These items are available both with and without ETH branding. Members of the ETH community will be granted a special discount.
The first ten external pageonline orders of ETH Zurich masks will receive an additional mask free of charge.
