Medical clothing and products stand between an infectious agent and a person — both staff and patient. The material has to stop microbes, withstand dozens of disinfection cycles and stay comfortable through a twelve-hour shift. We manufacture fabrics that combine these demands: antiviral and infection-protective, durable through industrial laundering, comfortable and neat throughout their service life — for reusable clothing that lowers a hospital’s cost and environmental footprint.
Ariteks antiviral fabrics are the result of eleven years of research and development, brought to market in 2020. Effectiveness is confirmed to ISO 18184 — a standard that measures the actual reduction of virus on the material surface, not merely the presence of an active substance.
ArShirt Antiviral Pique and the ArMedi line contain silver fibre (Ag) in the yarn — the antiviral and antibacterial action is part of the knit structure, so it does not weaken with every wash, unlike a surface finish.
Water-repellent Arox WR WP fabrics (75% PES / 25% PU) form a barrier against microbes penetrating with body fluids — for isolation gowns and staff protective clothing, tested to EN 14126.
ArPower Knit: interlock knits of 350–400 g/m² with elastane — an ultra-elastic base for orthoses, corsets and reusable masks that must fit closely without constricting.
Fabrics for scrubs and medical shirts (ArWoWear Soft, 80% cotton) combine the breathability of a natural fibre with resistance to industrial laundering — clothing worn through the whole shift without discomfort.
Ariteks has documented comparative analyses of reusable isolation gowns and masks against single-use ones — cost and environmental impact favouring the reusable fabric. A supplier that delivers not only the material, but the argument for it.
