Fight microbes in warm, moist environments with innovative anti-mold treatments
Warm, moist environments create the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. These organisms feed off of a variety of different nutrient sources and multiply, creating unsightly stains that cause surfaces to appear unclean and contribute to product degradation. Once mold growth begins, it can be very difficult to stop, often shortening product lifespan and leading to premature disposal.
The best defense against the growth of mold is prevention. The incorporation of built-in antifungal protection inhibits the growth of mold and fungus, enhancing product quality and putting a stop to degradation. Broad spectrum anti-mold treatments from Microban®, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial technologies, offer up to 99.9% effectiveness against mold growth.
