VIRUSHIELD™ is DetraPel’s new patent-pending, revolutionary, protective coating technology designed for textiles that creates a breathable, and superhydrophobic barrier which repels large respiratory droplets and can trap smaller virus-containing microdroplets preventing their transmission through VIRUSHIELD™ protected surfaces.

Airborne viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 are primarily transmitted through respiratory droplets. N95 respirators block the transmission of 95% of these droplets while fabric face masks typically block 40%-60%. In a study by Northeastern University, applying DetraPel Fabric & Clothing Protector with VIRUSHIELD™ Technology to fabric face masks significantly increases their effectiveness, and produced filtration efficiency equivalent to that of a surgical-grade N95 respirator.

Using the latest advancements in nanotechnology, DetraPel’s VIRUSHIELD™ provides protection from pathogen-carrying aerosol droplets at the nanoscale that is safe to wear and keeps fabric masks light and breathable for maximum comfort throughout the day.
Unlike the competition, DetraPel Fabric Protectors are non-toxic and PFAS-free so you can wear your fabric mask confidently knowing that your face covering is keeping you safe in more ways than one!
