Microban is an antimicrobial agent that is incorporated into the synthetic material of the product during the manufacturing process and is thus evenly distributed throughout the product.
Once bacteria come into contact with the Microban surface, the technology works by disrupting its biological functioning, the lifecycle cannot proceed and the bacteria then die.
What about disinfectants?
Disinfectants are an instant but short term solution, which only temporarily eliminate bacteria from surfaces. Once the disinfected surface becomes dry, bacteria can very quickly start to grow and reproduce.
As Microban antibacterial technology is built-in and becomes an integral part of the product composition, it cannot wash off or wear away, and so, provides antibacterial efficacy for the useful life of the product.
Built-in Microban technology provides an alternative by providing a permanent defence against bacteria and other microbes. Its efficacy continues even after the usual washing.
