What is Antimicrobial Technology?

The EPA defines antimicrobial pesticides as “substances or mixtures of substances used to destroy or suppress the growth of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, or fungi on inanimate objects and surfaces”.

NeverGerms antimicrobial technology is  constructed from proven components, with global safety certifications.

How long do NeverGerms® antimicrobial products last?

Product life is determined exclusively by product wear. We recommend replacing every 6 months. In some high traffic applications, they may need to be replaced more often. The surface cover will remain active, even if scratched or nicked. If the cover starts to peel off we recommend replacement.

The Science Behind  Antimicrobial Technology

technical drawing how antimicrobial works.png

Antimicrobial technology utilizes characteristics of microbes to generate a specific and targeted response. The antimicrobial properties work to inactivate microbial enzymes that then accumulate within microbial cell compartments thereby inhibiting microbial cell division. These agents also sequester critical nutrients, arresting microbial cellular metabolism, and interact with the nucleic acids to prevent microbial proliferation and reproduction. Together, these processes produce oxidative damage, that is the accumulation of reactive oxygen such as hydrogen peroxide and radical oxygen within the microbial cell, providing an additional source of inhibition since reactive oxygen species cause cell decay.
