AEGIS MICROBE SHIELD®AEGIS® is a revolutionary bonded antimicrobial technology for polymers and textiles.
-
AEGIS Microbe Shield® is a full spectrum liquid antimicrobial suitable for use
in a wide range of urethane cross-linked chemistries including urethane
foams, coatings, and Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) processes. AEGIS®
technology is an easy to process liquid formulation that can be pre-mixed
into polyols and provides excellent antimicrobial activity in finished products
and long-term stability and durability in polymer applications.
The active ingredient in AEGIS® forms a protective coating that
can molecularly bond with products upon application. Bacteria are
attracted to the coating’s positive charge, and upon coming into
contact with the treated surface, they quickly die. When applied to
surfaces, AEGIS forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer that
attracts, then electrocutes and ruptures, a microbe’s negatively charged cell
membrane. AEGIS® inhibits the growth of microbes on surfaces by utilizing a
charge disruption mode of action. AEGIS® is a cationic antimicrobial that’s attracted
to the microbe's cell wall and neutralizes the cell wall's natural protection by interacting
with cellular proteins needed to maintain cell wall integrity. Its charge- disruption mode of
action leads to the eventual breakdown of the microbial cell (also known as lysis), eliminating
odor, stains and deterioration.
Unlike many other chemical disinfectants that control
microbes which can require constant re-application or
have unwanted side effects, including damage or
discoloration on product surfaces, toxicity to living
organisms or environmental damage, AEGIS®� technology has a history of safe use and durable,
ensuring long-lasting antimicrobial efficacy.
