AEGIS® Microbe Shield has a long history of delivering durable, on-going antimicrobial protection for surfaces.
For Decades, Microban® – manufacturer of AEGIS® Microbe Shield has been the Global Leader in Antimicrobial Technology
Multiple studies have been undertaken that show how AEGIS® Microbe Shield works to control surface contamination for months – compared to disinfecting, which only works for minutes.
EFFICACY AND DURABILITY STUDIES
SURFACE TRANSMISSION of VIRUSES
While transmission of a coronavirus is mainly person to person, these studies show that viruses are also transmitted by contaminated surfaces.
DISINFECTING SURFACES
EPA and CDC
- No product (disinfectant) can guarantee or claim that it prevents any disease.
- Disinfectants can only “lower the risk of spreading infection”.
- Even those disinfectants that are listed as effective against COVID-19 by the EPA, can only state that they are “effective in reducing the risk of exposure” to COVID-19.
- Current evidence suggests that COVID-19 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces
AEGIS® Microbe Shield
- AEGIS® is not a disinfectant – it is a microbiostatic polymer coating that inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
- It works by a physical process, not a chemical process – utilizing a charge disruption mode of action.
- AEGIS® is registered with the EPA (Reg. No. 64881-7) as a microbiostatic agent.
- It is not intended to replace disinfecting products in normal cleaning protocols. It is an additional layer of protection.
