What is anti-microbial protection?
Microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi can cause fabric to have stains and to produce an unpleasant odor. Antimicrobial protection disrupts the cells of microbes making them unable to function, grow, or reproduce. F5 antimicrobial protection is built-in to products during manufacturing to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection for the useful life of the fabric. F5 scientific fabric has been tested to provide a continuous ten millimeter halo barrier against microbes around the fabric while other industry related fabrics provide no antimicrobial protection at all.
