How It's Built In

• • Microban^® odor-control and antimicrobial agents are integrated into the blades of the turf during the manufacturing process.
• • This patented technology never washes off or wears away and stays active for the life of the product.

FAQ

• How do products with Microban^® antimicrobial protection work?
  • Microban^® protection inhibits the growth of microorganisms. When microbes come in contact with the product surface, Microban^® protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism and disrupts cell functions making the microorganism unable to function, grow and reproduce.
• What benefit do I get from products with Microban^® antimicrobial protection?
  • Microban^® protection continuously fights the growth of microbes such as odor and stain causing bacteria. Microban^® protection makes products easier to clean and keeps them cleaner between cleanings.
• What types of microorganisms does Microban protection work against?
  • Microban^® antimicrobial protection is effective against most common bacteria that cause stains, odors and product degradation. Microban^® technology is not designed to protect users from disease.
• How do I know that Microban antimicrobial product protection is safe to use?
  • Microban^® technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. It is registered with the EPA and other regulatory agencies in other countries for all applications in which it is used. Microban^® additives can be found in leading consumer and industrial brands around the world.
• Does this mean I don’t have to clean my products as much or as carefully?
  • No. Microban^® protection provides continuous antimicrobial protection that protects the products, making them easier to clean and keeping them cleaner between cleanings. However, normal cleaning practices should be maintained.
• Does Microban^® protection begin working immediately?
  • Microban^® protection begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the product surface. It then works continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden than would be expected on a product without Microban^® antimicrobial protection. Under the right conditions, microbes on an untreated surface can double every 20 minutes! Microban^® technology is not a disinfectant and is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices.
• How long does Microban^® antimicrobial protection work?
  • Microban^® protection is built-in during the manufacturing process and will not wash off or wear away. Microban^® protection is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection for the useful lifetime of the product.
