HOW’S IT WORK?
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.

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 SHIELDTECH ?

DELIVERY
DELIVERY

People in Last Mile Delivery are typically moving fast and working up a sweat. ShieldTech will kill the odor-causing bacteria in the sweat that gets on the seat and eliminate the smell that comes from it.

PEOPLE IN HOT CLIMATES
PEOPLE IN HOT CLIMATES

The same reason as Delivery people. Killing the bacteria in sweat means that you don’t get the Swamp A$$ smell in vehicles (actual quote from a customer)

SHARED VEHICLES
SHARED VEHICLES

ShieldTech is great for shared vehicles because multiple people sharing the same vehicle means larger risk of spreading bacteria. ShieldTech eliminates 99.99% of the bacteria so it’s less likely to be shared around.

FIRST RESPONDERS
FIRST RESPONDERS

ShieldTech is ideal for first responders because it kills the microbes in sweat and other bodily fluids. Check out Responder ShieldTech for the perfect First Responder Seat Covers. It’s antimicrobial and reinforced in the high wear areas to protect the seat from being worn by duty belts, weapons, and radios.
