Tomorrow, January 26, Casall in collaboration with Polygiene launches a completely unique training glove treated with Polygiene ViralOff® technology. The treatment has in an ISO18184:2019 test* shown a reduction of virus by over 99% within 2 hours on treated materials. The test has been performed on the SARS-CoV-2 virus, causing COVID-19, among other viruses.
Caterpillar® is the world’s leading manufacturer of construction and mining equipment. It has grown to become one of the highest valued brands in the world*, making workwear and casualwear that embodies their essence of getting the work done.

The partnership starts in the casual wear collection, ramping up for 2021 and beyond.

The new formula is being applied by a number of partners as we speak and is ready for high volume deliveries in January 2021.
