The virucidal treatment for technical fabrics and textiles is the answer to the current need to combine safety, hygiene, durability, and aesthetics in large-scale projects. With applications in contract, hospitality, catering, nautical, furniture, transportation, aeronautics, healthcare, and communities, this finish offers a comprehensive solution for creating more reliable and protected spaces.
At Alonso Mercader, we continue to lead the way in textile innovation, developing customized technical treatments that meet the highest standards of quality and safety.
Virucidal treatment is a specialized finish that acts on the fibers of the fabric to inactivate or reduce the presence of viruses on its surface. Thanks to Virucide iAys AG technology, silver ions interact with viruses, inhibiting their replication and ensuring their disappearance after cleaning. This process reinforces the hygiene of textiles, turning them into an active barrier against viral agents and protecting the health of users.
At Alonso Mercader, we apply this finish while ensuring that the fabrics maintain their softness, breathability, aesthetics, and durability, without compromising the comfort or functionality of the projects.

The virucidal treatment provides key advantages for interior design, furniture, and public space projects:
In the contract sector, where textiles are used intensively in hotels, offices, auditoriums, and public spaces, the virucidal finish is an indispensable resource. It allows sofas, armchairs, and curtains to remain actively protected against viruses, offering safety to users and reinforcing confidence in shared spaces.
For architects and interior designers, this treatment represents added value, integrating safety, design, and functionality into large-scale projects.
In the hotel and restaurant sector, hygiene is a determining factor in customer satisfaction. Alonso Mercader’s virucidal treatment applied to upholstery, headboards, armchairs, and decorative textiles provides safer and cleaner environments, reinforcing the establishment’s image of quality and improving the guest experience.
In addition, this finish helps to optimize cleaning protocols, reducing concerns about virus transmission in high-occupancy spaces.
In environments such as nautical, outdoor furniture, and transportation (cars, trains, planes, or buses), textiles are exposed to continuous use and contact with multiple users. Our virucidal finish ensures that upholstery and coverings offer extra protection against viruses, while maintaining their comfort, durability, and design.
This treatment is particularly valuable in the aeronautical sector and public transport, where hygiene and user confidence are essential.
In sectors such as healthcare, gyms, cinemas, theaters, and spas, textiles with virucidal treatment offer an added level of protection, reducing the spread of viruses on frequently touched surfaces.
This finish makes upholstery, armchairs, stretchers, and curtains strategic allies in ensuring hygienic, safe, and durable environments, meeting the highest standards of safety and design.
Our innovative vision and experience as a technical manufacturer consolidate us as a strategic partner for design and architecture professionals seeking textiles that meet the demands of cutting-edge, high-end projects.
