What is Antimicrobial Technology?
Antimicrobial – adjective [an-ti-mī-ˈkrō-bē-əl]
Destroying or inhibiting the growth and reproduction of microorganisms, especially pathogenic microorganisms.
Pathogenic Microorganisms are harmful bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Unlike disinfectants, which provide a limited residual activity once the treated surface dries, integrated antimicrobial technology works to continuously minimize the presence of microbes throughout the entire lifecycle of a product.

How does Antimicrobial Technology work?
UNITY antimicrobial technology works at a cellular level to continually disrupt the growth and reproduction of microorganisms.
- Protein Damage: antimicrobial agents attack the proteins of a microbe, causing failure of essential functions.
- Cell Disruption: antimicrobial agents damage the membrane of a microbe, leading to the loss of critical nutrients.
- Oxidative Damage: antimicrobial agents cause increased oxygen levels, leading to significant damage to the internal systems of a microbe.
- DNA Disruption: antimicrobial agents interfere with the genetics of a microbe, ultimately preventing their growth and reproduction.
