ANTIMICROBIAL SEAT COVERS?
ShieldTech is like Ironweave on steroids. It’s the same 1000 denier Cordura but with an antimicrobial, anti-odor, and moisture-wicking treatment.
ShieldTech is the perfect application for industries where multiple people share the same vehicle or in hot climates where the driver is likely to get sweaty.
In lab testing with S. aureus and K. pneumoniae organisms, ShieldTech eliminated 99.99% of organism growth in a 24-hour period, compared to untreated fabric.
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.

Who Needs ShieldTech?
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
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
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
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.
