EFFICACY AND DURABILITY STUDIES

SURFACE TRANSMISSION of VIRUSES

While transmission of a coronavirus is mainly person to person,

these studies show that viruses are also transmitted by contaminated surfaces.

DISINFECTING SURFACES

EPA and CDC

  1. No product (disinfectant) can guarantee or claim that it prevents any disease.
  2. Disinfectants can only “lower the risk of spreading infection”.
  3. Even those disinfectants that are listed as effective against COVID-19 by the EPA, can only state that they are “effective in reducing the risk of exposure” to COVID-19.
  4. Current evidence suggests that COVID-19 may remain viable for hours to days on surfaces

AEGIS® Microbe Shield

  1. AEGIS® is not a disinfectant – it is a microbiostatic polymer coating that inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
  2. It works by a physical process, not a chemical process – utilizing a charge disruption mode of action.
  3. AEGIS® is registered with the EPA (Reg. No. 64881-7) as a microbiostatic agent.
  4. It is not intended to replace disinfecting products in normal cleaning protocols. It is an additional layer of protection.

AEGIS® Microbe Shield has nearly 30 years of safe use - solving problems in virtually every type of building and on a broad array of consumer and healthcare products.
