Screenworks’ Bumpaa™ Brand Launches Antiviral Gloves

In the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, Screenworks, through its burgeoning brand, Bumpaa™, has launched a new antiviral gloves range.

 

The gloves, in addition to keeping hands warm, are treated with ViralOff® technology a treatment proven to reduce tested viruses, (including the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes Covid-19), by over 99% on the material in two hours*2.

 

The gloves provide built-in protection and support during the pandemic and beyond. 

 

 

Designed to protect the textiles from harbouring viruses or bacteria, ViralOff® does not interfere with the skin’s natural bacterial flora and lasts for the product’s lifetime.

 

When the gloves are removed, if any virus or bacteria is present on the surface, 99 per cent will be safely deactivated within a maximum of two hours*2. The gloves do not require regular washing. For best performance and sustainability, the products should be washed less, only when needed*3.

 

Duncan Gilmour, managing director at Screenworks, said: “Consistent wear of these antiviral gloves could help to reduce the spread of viruses, given there will be a lot less hand contact.

 

“Our Bumpaa range continues to go from strength to strength, and we’re delighted to be bringing this new product to market. We have worked hard to source a sleek, high quality glove, which will be perfect for the colder weather, combining comfort, warmth and safety.

 

“They are also touchscreen ready, which means they don’t need to be taken on and off frequently – making them a practical answer to reducing the wearers exposure to the virus. 

 

“If the glove fabric comes into contact with Covid19, the ViralOff® treatment will deactivate the virus, just let the product rest for two hours, and the product is good to go again.

 

“The gloves are the ideal solution for shopping trips, travel on public transport, bicycle rides or for people who work outdoors such as delivery drivers, warehouse or construction workers.” 

 

MOQ’s start at 10 pieces and are available from stock for delivery from 24 hours. The gloves can also be branded with corporate logos, with either a transfer print or embroidery on the rear of each glove – with lead times of 5-7 days on decorated items.
