Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Inspired by Nature" mean?
Instead of continuing to rely on antimicrobial additives that are designed artificially by chemists, Microban scientists have found inspiration from antimicrobials that occur naturally in nature - specifically in plants and animals. Chemistry that is found in living plants and animals will eventually be broken down and returned to the soil, to be recycled back to support future life forms.
Ascera’s active ingredient is a perfect example of nature-inspired chemistry. It is similar to acids found in nature and has a long history of being used in multiple consumer product applications.
Microban’s new generation of nature-inspired chemistries will play an important role in sustainable product protection over the coming decades.
