What is the difference between ÆGIS and other antimicrobials (ex. Milgo, Microban, etc.)?
Most commercial antimicrobials used for treating building surfaces do a great job getting a quick kill on bacteria and fungi (although some have a limited spectrum of effectiveness). Conventional products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning the organism. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly to avoid adverse effects to humans and animals due to their toxic ingredients. ÆGIS Antimicrobial takes a totally different approach. Like conventional antimicrobials it provides an effective initial microbial kill when it is applied, BUT, unlike the others, ÆGIS Antimicrobial also provides long-term control of growth on treated surfaces. ÆGIS Antimicrobial permanently modifies a surface to make them antimicrobial.
