HeiQ Allergen Tech Reduces Home Textile Allergens

Textile Insights

The bedroom is home to several airborne allergens, such as pet allergens and house dust mite substance allergens. But whether in a private home or a hotel, every set of pillows, mattresses and duvets contains allergens after six months of use, after which the average person is unsuspectingly exposed to In this environment, an appropriate solution is therefore required. HeiQ Allergen Tech technology utilizes synbiotics (= probiotics + prebiotics) in a natural matrix applied to textiles to reduce non-living allergens. These inanimate allergens are airborne and cause allergy symptoms and asthma triggers.
HeiQ Allergen Tech can be added during the finishing stage of the textile manufacturing process and helps reduce inanimate allergens such as house dust mite matter and pet allergens. Several rounds of testing have shown that HeiQ Allergen Tech is highly effective in reducing allergen levels in house dust mite matter (96.6%), dog hair (76.5%) and cat hair (83.6%).
The technology was tested and certified by BMA Labor, an accredited laboratory in Bochum, Germany, and has been awarded the Allergy UK Seal of Approval by The British Allergy Foundation .
