With summer in full bloom and the season’s celebrations in full swing, it is important to remember the presence of microbes that cover the many surfaces we all encounter. It is vital to have products that protect against various microbes, including bacteria, mold, and mildew; all of which can degrade product surfaces, cause foul odors, and shorten the lifespan of your products. Microban antimicrobial additives are the perfect choice in protecting against and inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microbes on surfaces.
Microban is the world’s leading antimicrobial and odor control ingredient brand. We have partnered with over 1000 different companies to bring products on all sides including consumer, textile, building, commercial, and healthcare. In this article, we feature some of our popular summer-friendly, microbe deadly, products and partners that will guarantee a cleaner and fresher summer for all.
