Fineotex Chemical Limited has entered into a joint venture with HealthGuard Australia to become the exclusive global marketing and sales channel partner with joint operations from Malaysia.
With this tie-up, Fineotex will add to its portfolio the much-required metal-free safety for its customers around the world with all the required global certifications.
HealthGuard will concentrate on developing cutting-edge solutions that will be marketed and channelized across the world by Fineotex-Biotex, its exclusive channel partner for the entire range of products over several industries like textile, detergent, leather, and allied industries.
The synergy between HealthGuard & Fineotex-Biotex, will provide solutions that are the most durable metal-free sustainable chemistry (no silver, no zinc, and no copper) antimicrobial and antiviral sustainable chemistry in the market.
HealthGuard is the ultimate name in antimicrobial, antiviral, anti-dust mite, anti-mosquito, and anti-bed bug finishes. With textiles treated with solutions from Fineotex-Biotex Group and HealthGuard, India will be able to step up in its fight against the pandemic and be on par with other developed economies. AMIC is 99.94 percent effective against killing coronavirus (H1N1-ISO18184 tested) SARS and influenza virus and remains active on treated fabric even after 20 home laundering.
Commenting on the collaboration, Arindam Choudhuri, CEO, Fineotex Chemical Limited said, “The synergy with HealthGuard will add a crucial certified product line to our growing range of solutions and expand our global footprints. Protected and treated fabrics that are breathable, comfortable, and easy-to-care are going to increase in demand. As India and the world opens up gradually, just about everyone from students to factory workers, from tourists to staffers in the hospitality industry, will need to put on protected garments that can bring down the chances of them getting infected by the virus.”
Aarti Jhunjhunwala, Executive Director, Fineotex Chemical Limited said, “The Covid-19 pandemic has placed tremendous emphasis on fabrics that are treated and safe. This synergy with HealthGuard signals the advancement that textile manufacturers will have to adopt so that the end consumers are confident of their safety.”
