Designed for seamless integration during manufacturing, Microban’s antiviral treatments become an intrinsic part of the material’s structure, offering long‑lasting, built‑in protection against microbes. Extensive laboratory studies confirm compliance with ISO 18184 for textiles—covering woven, knitted fabrics, fibers, yarns, and braids—and ISO 21702 for plastics and other non‑porous surfaces. Efficacy was validated against a panel of viruses, including bacteriophage Phi6, a recognized surrogate for SARS‑CoV‑2, demonstrating up to 99 % reduction in viral load.
Microban’s antiviral solutions prevent viruses from maintaining viability on treated surfaces. By targeting either the viral envelope or the nucleic acid core, they block attachment to host cells and halt replication. This robust mechanism offers manufacturers a premium feature and gives consumers confidence in product safety.
