HELSE is a compound incorporated into the rubber used to make the sole, which can eliminate bacteria and viruses, including Coronavirus.

The sole acts as a protective barrier against viruses and bacteria thanks to its powerful biocidal action. A sole that protects your health, offering you increased safety, confidence, and peace of mind. Effective biocidal protection.

Viruses and bacteria can live outside human beings and remain infectious for hours or days depending on the surface. One of the surfaces they are most likely to stick to is the sole of our shoes.

HELSE has successfully passed tests for virucidal effectiveness (ISO 21702) and microbial effectiveness (ISO 22196:2011)

HELSE is a compound incorporated into the rubber used to make the sole, which can eliminate bacteria and viruses, including Coronavirus.

This is demonstrated by means of a series of tests based on ISO 21702 and ISO 22196 standards, which quantify antiviral and antimicrobial properties on non-porous surfaces. The test is carried out on human Coronavirus HCoV-NL63 from the same family as SARS-CoV-2 (Covid 19).

4 hours. The test measured how many viruses survived 4 hours after infecting the surface.

This antiviral treatment will last the same as the useful life of the footwear because the antiviral treatment is included in the rubber's formulation.

Looking at the average number of infectious units recovered from the trial and reference control materials in 4 hours, it indicates a reduction of 99%. The test showed that the compound is not toxic to human cells.

The sole of the footwear is self-decontaminating. It guarantees that the sole is decontaminated 4 hours after use. It avoids the spread of viruses through contact.
