Thermaissance’s anti-fungal technology has been shown to be highly effective and resistant against Mucor species as per the scientific study conducted at NABL ISO 17025 certified lab in India. Such mucor species are commonly known to cause Mucormycosis or Black Fungus infection, as per US Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Thermaissance’s unique fabric technology is shown to have high resistance to such pathogens causing black fungus. Even after 3 days, no growth was seen on Thermaissance fabric. Thermaissance has launched new range of Anti-fungal masks, made using such fabrics.

Thermaissance fabric shows zero growth of mucor species, even after 72 hrs of incubation
