P2F has developed a coating for textiles which incorporates its proprietary nanoparticles to give textiles long-lasting virucidal properties. The first application of this technology has been to coat a fabric layer in surgical masks and produce a certified antiviral (including COVID-19 and Influenza) mask for use by both healthcare professionals and the public.

There is also a copper lining embedded in the mask which releases ions which kill the virus if they come into contact with it.
