PolyU-supported start-up joins hands with LAWSGROUP to produce the world’s first anti-virus 3D printing material

Immune Materials Limited (IML), a PolyU-supported start-up, reached an investment cooperation with LAWSGROUP to manufacture the world’s first anti-virus 3D printing material developed by the start-up.

IML was established by the research team from PolyU’s Institute of Textiles and Clothing. The material developed by the interdisciplinary research team can kill over 90% of the viruses and bacteria, including COVID-19, within 10 minutes. It can be used to produce toilet doorknob covers, lift buttons and more.

LAWSGROUP will apply the material in its local and overseas commercial buildings, shopping malls and production facilities. In addition, the Sham Shui Po District Council will also join hands with IML to apply the material in public facilities and “three-nil buildings”.
