AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing multi-functional fabrics fail to provide effective microbiological protection against viruses, fungi, and biofilms, often promoting the creation of multi-resistant bacteria and lacking breathability, which poses health risks and discomfort.

Method used

A multi-functional trilaminar fabric comprising a substrate layer, a superficial mesh with an antibacterial/antiviral and hydrophobic composition crosslinked with a crosslinking composition, and a breathable waterproof membrane, ensuring wash-resistance and maintaining protective properties.

Benefits of technology

The fabric provides simultaneous waterproof, hydrophobic, antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal protection, maintaining effectiveness after multiple washes and ensuring breathability, thus addressing the limitations of prior-art solutions.

Abstract

The present invention concerns a substrate layer composed of linen materials made from either synthetic or natural fibres, a chemical treatment being impregnated within the fibres in a way that forms a superficial mesh on the fabric, conferring antibacterial (bacteriostatic or bactericidal), antiviral, antifungal and hydrophobic properties to the fabric and a flexible, breathable waterproof membrane that is laminated onto one surface of the substrate layer.
