2002 :
« The textile material used for the production of
Protec'Som®
bed covers with respect to its very low
permeability to particles of the
critical range (D= 1- 5 µm) fully meets
the quality citeria for textile materials intended to be used for the
production of encasings »
2002 :
Comfort : a
polycotton textile with a good water vapour permeability (breathability)
to avoid moisture retention.
The
textile of Protec’Som®
has a very high "breathability" factor as proven in Germany.
2003 :
Protec’Som®
covers in Evolon have been tested for harmful substances according to Oekotex
standard 100
2003 :
Protec'Som® 2003's covers got RWTUV
certificat

specialising in dust mite allergies.
2004 :
The Texaal®
materials durability have been proven in IBT Laboratory experiments.
ProtecSom fabrics were repeatedly washed and dried in a process repeated a
100 times. As the result, the quality of Protec'Som®
textiles did not change: they
were still 100% effective at blocking allergens. Therefore, they are suitable
for a lifetimes use, providing the covers are well maintained.
2004 :
PMI, an independent laboratory (Ithaca, NY, USA) proved that ProtecSom pure cotton covers
are an impervious barrier against dust mite allergens.
2007 :
The production of Texaal®
covers complies with the European directive 93/42/CEE, concerning medical devices (JOCE L 169 from 12/07/93). Class 1 Medical device.
2007 :
The production of Protecsom®
covers in Evolon®
complies with the European directive 93/42/CEE, concerning medical
devices (JOCE L 169 from 12/07/93). Class 1 Medical device.
2007 :
Certificate of
innocuousness for the
Protecsom®
Texaal®
Cotton covers, issued by SGS.
2008 :
Protecsom®
anti-dust mite covers in Evolon® got the endorsement of the European
Centre for Allergy Research Foundation.
May 2008 :
Severe tests, trialled in several
different
countries, showed that Texaal®
covers filter 39% of particles at 0.3µm. (The smallest excrements of mites have
a size of 5µm)
This is the best performance shown by
any
textile, woven from natural fibres in the current market.
These results confirm that Texaal®
Cotton reached the same level of efficiency as covers with chemical coatings or
synthetic covers, but with quality, strength and the comfort of natural cotton.
