Antimicrobial technology has revolutionized facility cleanliness and is a key aid in the fight against harmful and product-damaging microbes. So much so, that there are many benefits to manufacturing products with antimicrobial technology built in, and purchasing products of the same nature. We look at the top five benefits of antimicrobial technology, from the view of both consumers and manufacturers.
Antimicrobial Technology Protects Surfaces from Product-Damaging Microbes
Antimicrobial technology is not limited by product type or industry. It can be seamlessly integrated into consumer products, commercial products, textiles, buildings, and healthcare products, effectively inhibiting the growth of microbes and extending the product's life.
Antimicrobial technology plays a crucial role in inhibiting the growth of degrading microbes in various environments, from hospital settings to public transport. Its importance is equally significant in the home, where consumers can now purchase everyday household products with built-in antimicrobial technology, ensuring a cleaner and fresher living space.
Antimicrobial Technology Extends the Usable Life of Your Product Range
Antimicrobial technology can help to make your product range long-lasting and durable. Not only does the antimicrobial protection work to inhibit damaging microbial growth on the surface of your products, but it can also decrease the rate at which your products degrade.
Stain and odor-causing microbes, as well mold and mildew, are fought against, all of which can damage products. Antimicrobial technology cannot be washed off and does not wear away. Plus, when combined with regular cleaning, the addition of antimicrobial technology boosts a product’s durability and useable life.
Antimicrobial Technology Helps You Gain a Distinct Edge Over Competition
Antimicrobial technology is a unique selling point that differentiates you from your competitors while providing consumers with extra value. Since antimicrobial technology can be incorporated into a vast range of products, it can be utilized within many different industries in order to gain a competitive advantage within your marketplace. By partnering with Microban, you can benefit from category and/or territory exclusivity, both of which can help you to establish your association with antimicrobial technology.
Antimicrobial Technology Improves Product Sustainability
Incorporating antimicrobial technology into products significantly enhances sustainability by promoting reusability and reducing premature disposal.
Antimicrobial technology extends the usable life of products by inhibiting the growth of microbes that cause degradation. This reduces the frequency of replacements and extends the time before products need to be discarded. As a result, less waste is generated, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint. Products treated with antimicrobial technology not only last longer but also maintain their functionality and aesthetic appeal over time, further encouraging reuse and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
This sustainability factor appeals to eco-conscious consumers and supports efforts toward sustainable manufacturing practices.
