Welcome to the ÆGIS Microbe Shield™ Home Page "Twenty-Five Years of Protecting The Products That Protect You and Your Environment" With a 25 year history of effectiveness, durability, and safe use, our antimicrobial technology protects: nonwovens, hosiery, foams, fibers, fabrics

, other surfaces, and the indoor environment from bacteria, mold, mildew, fungus, and yeast.

<In 1969, researchers at Dow Corning Corporation discovered a unique way to attach biocidal agents permanently and directly to a wide variety of surfaces. The resulting non-volatile polymer is unique among antimicrobials in that it does not create a zone of inhibition and does not dissipate over time. This extraordinary technology permits the continuous, durable activity against mildew that is required to prevent infestation. Also, because the material does not lose effectiveness through absorption or dissipation, microorganisms have never been shown to develop immunity against it.

For the very first time, Dow Corning's new technology made it possible to actually control the growth and development of mildew and other microorganisms on any treated surface - even after repeated cleanings and extended use.

This unique technology, now ÆGIS Antimicrobial, has been widely used and is well reported on for its long-term effectiveness in the control of microbial contamination in indoor environments. Case histories and peer review publications show how this material, as part of a total IEQ program, provides relief and protection from indoor microbial problems>
