HOW’S IT WORK?

The coating utilizes silver and copper ions (which have been used since 4000 BC to kill bacteria) in a zeolite carrier to starve, sterilize, and suffocate microbes.

A zeolite carrier is a microporous, three-dimensional crystalline solid of aluminum silicate that’s been charged with ions of the active ingredient (silver and copper, in this case) Zeolites are naturally occurring and born of volcanic ash.

The antimicrobial effects are only released when needed in order to have the longest-lasting effects. It’s been tested to be effective after 100 machine washes.

SHIELDTECH GERM KILLING TEST #1 (K. PNEUMONIAE)

SAMPLE ORGANISM COUNT
(ZERO CONTACT TIME) 		ORGANISM COUNT
(24-HOUR CONTACT TIME) 		% REDUCTION FROM CONTROL AT 24 HOURS
Untreated Control Fabric 140,000 530,000,000 No Reduction
Test 1
(20 washes, dry)		 1,500 99.999%
Test 2
(40 washes, dry)		 600 99.9999%
Test 3
(20 washes, wet)		 11,900 99.99%
Test 4
(40 washes, wet)		 <100 99.9999%

All samples were tested with K. pneumoniae, an organism that causes Pneumonia. All samples had the same organism count at zero contact time. “Washes” signifies the number of times the sample was washed to simulate real-world use. Wet tests were performed in a wet environment, dry tests were performed in a dry environment. Test results have been simplified for ease of understanding, full lab results are available upon request.

WHO NEEDS RESPONDER SHIELDTECH?

EMS
EMS

This goes without saying but who comes into contact with more nefarious germs in a day than the heroes in an ambulance? Not many people.

Having antimicrobial seat covers that go to work killing stray germs that get drug into the rig is an extra step towards keeping the folks on the front line safe and healthy.

The Ironband reinforcement in the lower 1/3 of the seat back ensures that your radio or anything worn on your belt will never wear holes in your truck’s seats.

As with the EMS folks, having a set of antimicrobial seat covers provides an extra barrier against spreading illness by stopping germs from multiplying.

You’ll really appreciate the anti-odor feature if you’re hot-seating your cars and it rarely smells like “fresh linen” after 12 hours on duty. Not saying that we can make it smell new but ShieldTech does kill odor causing microbes!

The Ironband in the seat back provides an extra layer of protection between your duty belt and your seat, ensuring you never end up with foam and metal gaping from a hole in the seat.

The anti-odor feature of the ShieldTech Responder seat covers is great for fire departments because it kills the “wet sock” odor that you’re used to from seats getting wet when you get in with damp gear. ShieldTech kills the microbes that cause that odor and make the truck a lot nicer to get into tomorrow morning.

Having an active germ-killer in the seat at all times is great too!

The Ironband reinforcing the lower 1/3 of the seat back ensures that your radio, flashlight, or anything worn on your belt will never wear holes in your vehicle’s seat.

Letting you down isn’t something we’re cool with.

“I’m in and out of the trucks as are my employees... still like new after a washing (1+ years later) I’ve sat on these for over 1,100 hours and I wouldn’t go elsewhere!”
