Papoush Hosiery Company has announced the production of antibacterial knitted gloves, a product designed to reduce the transmission of contaminants and microbes during everyday activities.
According to the report, hands are among the primary pathways for transmitting diseases to the eyes, mouth, and facial skin. During the cold season, when wearing gloves becomes essential, the absence of protective features can facilitate the spread of contamination. Papoush’s new gloves, utilizing nanoscale structures embedded in the fibers, help reduce bacterial growth on the fabric surface and partially prevent the spread of contamination. The product has been developed to meet seasonal needs, improve personal hygiene, and contribute to the control of environmental diseases.
Amid growing attention to personal hygiene and the necessity of controlling seasonal illnesses, Papoush Hosiery Company has introduced its new product to the market under the name “Antibacterial Knitted Gloves.” The gloves are manufactured using fibers equipped with nanostructures and are designed to reduce the transmission of contaminants in daily activities.
According to the product developers, due to constant contact with various surfaces, hands are one of the main factors in the spread of microbes in the environment. Many microbial contaminants are transmitted when hands come into contact with the eyes, mouth, facial skin, and other sensitive parts of the body. In the cold season, when glove use becomes more common, the lack of antibacterial properties in hand coverings does little to limit this transmission cycle. Therefore, employing nanotechnology to inhibit bacterial growth on fiber surfaces can play a significant role in reducing this process.
Papoush Company states that materials with antibacterial properties at the nanometer scale have been used in these gloves. These nanostructures create unfavorable conditions for bacterial growth and proliferation, making both the inner and outer surfaces of the gloves a safer environment with reduced contamination buildup. In addition, the nanoparticles are fixed within the glove structure and do not degrade during everyday use or washing.
The application of such technologies in textiles has grown significantly in recent years. Academic research indicates that incorporating nanostructures into fibers, in addition to providing antibacterial properties, can also improve features such as moisture absorption, color durability, and fiber strength. Papoush gloves have been designed based on these principles to provide protection against cold while also playing a preventive role in controlling the spread of contamination.
This product is recommended for daily use in workplaces, educational centers, public transportation, and outdoor activities during cold seasons. Improving personal hygiene in such settings is not only essential for preventing disease transmission but can also help reduce healthcare costs and the burden of seasonal illnesses.
Papoush Hosiery Company has announced that the development of this product aligns with market needs and the promotion of public health, and that it has plans to expand its range of antibacterial nanotechnology-based products. The company hopes that the antibacterial knitted gloves will be widely adopted as a smart and effective form of protection during the cold season.
