The fabric is doubled for a more compact and ultra-run-resistant structure and uses HeiQ Eco-Dry technology, which offers fluorocarbon-free durable water repellence (DWR). This high-performance sustainable water-repellent treatment offers exceptional efficiency and durability to washing and dry cleaning. The applied HeiQ Eco-Dry treatment makes the masks 40° machine washable and thus reusable.
“I thought about how I could make myself with my company available to cope with this terrible pandemic. And we came up with the design of a hi-tech mask that is guaranteed to be Oeko Tex standard 100 certified, warp-knitted, double-layered, water-repellent, knitted in one without seams for optimal comfort, sterilised, washable up to ten washes, and all designed and made in Italy,” Cifra CEO Cesare Citterio said.
