Microban® Antimicrobial Protection
PermaLife Products come with Microban® antimicrobial protection so there’s
no worry about microbes. Microban protection works continuously
to inhibit the growth of microbes so PermaLife colored products
stay cleaner.
Microban protection is added during the manufacturing process
to fight the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew that can
cause stains and deterioration of the coating. And because
Microban protection is built-in, it won’t wash off or
wear away offering an added level of defense that lasts for
the life of all PermaLife colored products.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Microban® technology is built-in to PermaLife products
during the manufacturing process. When microbes, such as bacteria,
mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration
come in contact with the product surface, Microban protection
penetrates the cell wall of the microbe and disrupts key cell
functions so that the microbe cannot function, grow or reproduce.
WHAT IS A MICROBE?
Microbes or microorganisms are living cells that are too small
to be seen with the naked eye and must be viewed through a
microscope. The naked eye is only able to detect the presence
of microbes once they have multiplied to the hundreds of thousands.
And under the right conditions, microbes can double in number
every 15-20 minutes. Types of microorganisms include bacteria,
algae and fungi or mold.
*Microban® antimicrobial product protection is engineered
to protect PermaLife products from bacteria, mold and in some
cases algae that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.
(Microban protection is not designed to protect users from
disease causing microorganisms).
MICROBAN PROVEN EFFECTIVE!
All products engineered with Microban protection undergo extensive
testing microbiology and chemical analysis labs. In addition,
Microban technology has been proven effective in over 20,000
tests at over 27 independent laboratories around the world.

WHAT
IT IS FOR
BACTERIA |
Billions of years ago,
bacteria were among the earliest forms of life on Earth.
Today, bacteria are present in the soil, in the air, in
water, on plants and even on animals and humans.
There’s no escaping the presence of bacteria and
in fact, many of the bacteria we encounter are beneficial
to the environment and even to the human body helping
us to digest food for example. However, some bacteria
can adversely affect the everyday products we use in our
lives causing stains, odors and product deterioration. |
|
FUNGUS |
Early fossil records
suggest that fungi have been on Earth for over 550 million
years. And some experts estimate that today over 1.5
million fungus species exist. Common fungi include mushrooms,
puffballs, truffles, yeasts and most mildews.
Fungi are commonly referred to as mold and begin life
as microscopic airborne spores that germinate on contact
with the surface of a nonliving organic matter where
moisture is present.
Mold is then able to penetrate the organic material,
secreting enzymes and absorbing water and the digested
sugars and starches from the nutrient source. |
Mold is present everywhere in our indoor and
outdoor environment and many of the products
found in our homes provide rich nutrient sources. Look
for products like PermaLife with Microban protection
to resist the growth of mold on the coating.
