Request Sample
Consumer concern about daily exposure to microbes, such as odor causing bacteria, is on the rise. According to a recent Gallup Study over 70% of consumers are using 6+ products with antimicrobial protection.* Rogers has taken note of this demand, by teaming up with Microban International, the trusted leader for antimicrobial protection. You can rest assure that all of your PORON® Cushioning Materials with Microban® antimicrobial product protection provide consistent, reliable and long-lasting cushioning comfort from the inside-out.
We've all been there - warm, moist environments found in places such as shoes, protective apparel and equipment provide favorable conditions for bacteria and developing odors. It is primarily the metabolic byproducts of bacteria that cause odors. Microban antimicrobial protection is infused into PORON Cushioning for lasting protection that won’t wash off or wear away for the lifetime of the foam, continually working to keep the material cleaner and fresher longer.
This information is based upon standard laboratory tests and is provided for comparative purposes to substantiate antimicrobial activity for non-public health applications. Microban technology is not designed to replace good hygiene practices or protect users from disease causing microorganisms. Antimicrobial action limited to product surface
How Does Microban® Antimicrobial Protection Work?
