mosquito-repellent fabric helps protect against mosquito-borne illnesses like dengue fever, malaria, and West Nile Virus which has been moving from Africa to middle and northern Europe, and vast areas of North America.

Fabrics treated with HealthGuard protection maintain its mosquito-repellent capabilities even after numerous washings. HealthGuard is hypoallergenic and tested as safe to the human body. This innovative fabric can be used for the following products:

Children's garments, outdoor camping gear, curtains, protective clothing for construction wear, military wear, and outdoor fashion wear. Wherever there are mosquitoes, fabrics with HealthGuard protection will repel them.

Please see below the test results in accordance with ISO6330 Domestic washing and drying procedures for textile testing:

Test results of anti-mosquito fabric:

1. Before washing: bacterial inhibition rate >98%; mosquito repellence rate >80%.

2. After 50 washes in accordance with ISO6330 at normal temperature: bacterial inhibition rate >90; mosquito repellence rate >70%.
