AEGIS MICROBE SHIELD®AEGIS® is a revolutionary bonded antimicrobial technology for polymers and textiles.

AEGIS Microbe Shield® is a full spectrum liquid antimicrobial suitable for use

in a wide range of urethane cross-linked chemistries including urethane

foams, coatings, and Reaction Injection Molding (RIM) processes. AEGIS®

technology is an easy to process liquid formulation that can be pre-mixed

into polyols and provides excellent antimicrobial activity in finished products

and long-term stability and durability in polymer applications.

The active ingredient in AEGIS® forms a protective coating that

can molecularly bond with products upon application. Bacteria are

attracted to the coating’s positive charge, and upon coming into

contact with the treated surface, they quickly die. When applied to

surfaces, AEGIS forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer that

attracts, then electrocutes and ruptures, a microbe’s negatively charged cell

membrane. AEGIS® inhibits the growth of microbes on surfaces by utilizing a

charge disruption mode of action. AEGIS® is a cationic antimicrobial that’s attracted

to the microbe's cell wall and neutralizes the cell wall's natural protection by interacting

with cellular proteins needed to maintain cell wall integrity. Its charge- disruption mode of

action leads to the eventual breakdown of the microbial cell (also known as lysis), eliminating

odor, stains and deterioration.

Unlike many other chemical disinfectants that control

microbes which can require constant re-application or

have unwanted side effects, including damage or

discoloration on product surfaces, toxicity to living

organisms or environmental damage, AEGIS®� technology has a history of safe use and durable,

ensuring long-lasting antimicrobial efficacy.
