NAKORNPATHOM, THAILAND – February 23, 2021 // Microban is pleased to announce its partnership with Balls R Us, Thailand's leading manufacturer of children's educational products and sporting equipment.
Children's toys are known to harbour harmful microbes - be it mould on the inside of a rubber duck or E. coli on dolls. Frequent contact with soiled hands combined with changing environmental conditions and lapses in cleaning contribute heavily to product contamination. This can pose significant worry for parents who have little control over the toys their children play with whilst at school.
With 1 in 4 consumers now actively looking to purchase toys with built-in antimicrobial technology*, Balls R Us has partnered with Microban International to meet this growing demand. Microban® protection is engineered into building blocks, balls, and a range of other children's products from BRU. The technology works 24/7 to inhibit bacterial growth on the surface of the product, helping it stay hygienically cleaner than untreated equivalents.
Anke Lee, Customer Relationship Manager at Microban Asia, commented: "Children's toys represent some of the most concerning products when it comes to bacterial growth. The fantastic collaboration between Balls R Us and Microban® will help address these concerns and deliver added peace of mind for both parents and teachers."
