Applications of ĘGIS Microbe Shield Technology
Antibacterial and antimicrobial products are selling at record levels and retailers are responding to consumer demand for anything antimicrobial. From socks to air filters, ĘGIS Microbe Shield protected products are selling at record rates. Homebuyer concerns about mould and mildew in new construction continue to increase and the demand for mould-resistant building products is growing at a dramatic rate.
Since its registration with the EPA in 1976, the use of the ĘGIS Microbe Shield technology has allowed protection claims with a wide variety of products. Everything from ceiling tiles to socks, from shirts to carpeting is protected by the ĘGIS Microbe Shield. Even high performance applications, such as surgical drapes where safety and performance are paramount, are successfully protected by the ĘGIS Microbe Shield.
The ĘGIS technology is compatible with virtually all substrates, including natural and synthetic fibres, and is effective against a broad spectrum of all known bacteria, fungi, and algae. It is easily applied at the mill and incorporated into the wet finish process and provides an improved hand for most fabrics.
