How Folia's silver coating works as an antiviral
- Antiviral silver kills virus on the mask
- Viruses survive on the outside of conventional masks and are transferred to your face by touch
- Folia’s antiviral coating releases silver into virus-laden water droplets
- Silver destroys the virus
- How silver destroys the virus
- Breaks down viral machinery before entering the body
- Damages viral surface proteins which then cannot bind to human cell surface receptors
- Silver binds to the virus and prevents its molecular machinery from operating, preventing replication
