HeiQ Allergen Tech™

HeiQ Allergen Tech™ is a biobased, (more than 90% biobased – based on third-party testing for bio-based carbon content using ASTM D6866), proprietary textile finishing technology.

HeiQ Allergen Tech™ is an innovative probiotic textile technology utilizing the combination of prebiotics and probiotics (= “synbiotics”) that cleans up allergens. The probiotics colonize textile surfaces with good bacteria, effectively reducing common aero allergens such as dust mite matter and pet allergens (pet hair, dander, saliva).

HeiQ Allergen Tech™ provides a biotechnical solution for allergen reduction in home textiles such as fabrics for mattresses, mattress toppers, bed linen, pillow covers, but also carpets, rugs and upholstered furniture – whatever is in reach of dust mites and your beloved pets: your pillow, bed, sofa, carpet and all textiles in cars, offices and hotel rooms…
