SITIP’S EXPERIENCE RESULTS IN TWO NEW
MULTIFUNCTIONAL, ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY,
PROTECTIVE NECK WARMERS

Cene (BG), November 2020 – Now, in this season and in these times, as never before, it is essential to protect certain parts of the body that are particularly sensitive to temperature, wind and cold and that are constantly exposed. SITIP, a Bergamo-based company and global leader in the production of warp knitted and circular knitted technical fabrics is here to care for the neck, throat and head. Thanks to its experience in the technical textile sector, SITIP has created two new types of neck warmers with its innovative thermal fabrics made out of recycled yarns. Ideal for outdoor sports and everyday use, they can also be worn as a hat and are made of thermal fabrics treated with HeiQ Viroblock, an innovative textile technology that neutralises most of the microbes on the surface in just a few minutes.

This product is treated with a biocide to protect it from spoilage by microbes and odor-causing bacteria. Active ingredient: silver chloride.

The HeiQ Viroblock technology used to treat the neck warmer fabric, patented by the Swiss company HeiQ, creates a barrier against external contamination. It consists of a biocide treatment that uses active silver chloride to inhibit the growth and persistence of microbes and germs. Its effectiveness has been tested and verified by the Peter Doherty Institute For Infection and Immunity in Melbourne.
