About Us

Virogard is an international manufacturer of High Quality Antimicrobial Flu Masks for Personal Protection in Highly Infectious Environments and Pandemic Preparedness. The Virogard Mask provides a high degree of protection to the wearer from airborne viruses and dramatically reduce the prospect of cross-contamination. Viruses and bacteria can remain viable on conventional masks for a significant period but cannot survive on Virogard masks. Virogard masks are: • Safe • Practical • Cost-Effective Virogard masks are unique. There are two forms: • The re-usable protective mask is lightweight and contoured for an ergonomic fit to the face such that it can be worn without discomfort for long periods. The mask provides much better protection than a conventional surgical mask but remains simple to fit and wear and has the added advantage of being reusable. • The “P2 Respirator” is a fabric mask that meets the higher filtration standards of a respirator whilst remaining comfortable and with the added advantage of the Virogard antimicrobial fabric treatment. The respirator complies with Standard AS/NZS 1716 (P2) and in conformity with that Standard must be disposed of after each occasion of use. Apart from the high quality materials and workmanship incorporated in their manufacture, the key difference with Virogard masks lies in their antimicrobial action. Both outer and inner layers of fabric are treated with a proprietary antimicrobial polymer coating that kills viruses and bacteria ON CONTACT. This unique coating is entirely non-hazardous to humans – it contains neither heavy metals nor nano particles – and is effective for the life of the fabric. Treated material has been shown to be effective against Influenza Type A (the family to which pandemic Influenza varieties such as H5N1 and H1N1 belong) as well as a number of test bacteria such as e-Coli, Tuberculosis and Golden Staph. The antimicrobial action survives both washing and hot ironing.
