In partnership with Copag, a firm from Paraná state creates anti-covid playing cards

Guararapes, a company located in Palmas, in the south of Paraná, Brazil, launched the first anti-covid playing card on the Brazilian market. With the NanoxClean technology, the cards will be produced by Copag, leader in the segment, with technology from Nanox®, a Brazilian company that is a reference in the development of intelligent materials.

Since 2015, Guararapes uses this technology in all its products. The brand presents itself as a pioneer in innovations in the sector and now it is launching the first anti-covid deck with NanoxClean in the country in partnership with Copag.

"We chose strong partners, who accepted the challenge of making playing cards with the same technology that we use in our products. And the result was a unique deck, which meets the new market needs, with all the necessary care in this stage of resumption of meetings social,” explains Diego Andrade, Coordinator of Integrated Communication at Guararapes and responsible for the project.

The anti-covid deck receives product protection through a layer pressed on the surface of the cards with silver technology, which inactivates viruses, fungi and bacteria. In the case of SARS-CoV-2, which causes covid-19, silver oxidizes the outer layer of the virus, eliminating it from the surface. A technology that, according to the company, is effective and is not affected by the use of the deck, that is, it has action throughout the material's useful life.

NanoxClean also offers greater durability to the cards, unlike cleaning with chemical-abrasives, which contribute to the wear of the deck over time.

“We work to offer joint benefits with the application of our technology, in addition to, of course, microbiological safety, which makes perfect sense in this type of product with great handling,” highlights Gustavo Simões, director and co-founder of Nanox.
