Active Armor is an EPA Active Armor is an EPA registered, transformative registered, transformative technology.technology.Active Armor technology is a Active Armor technology is a spray-on antimicrobial protection spray-on antimicrobial protection for porous and non-porous for porous and non-porous surfaces.surfaces.Active Armor antimicrobial Active Armor antimicrobial protection gives substrates an protection gives substrates an added level of protection against added level of protection against damaging microbes such as damaging microbes such as bacteria, mold and mildew that bacteria, mold and mildew that can cause stains, odors and can cause stains, odors and product deterioration.product deterioration.

How Does Active Armor work?How Does Active Armor work?

The active ingredient in Active Armor polymerizes to all surfaces The active ingredient in Active Armor polymerizes to all surfaces and is both colorless and odorless.and is both colorless and odorless.

Think of Active Armor as a layer of electrically charged swords. Think of Active Armor as a layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane and the the quaternary amine sword punctures the cell membrane and the remnants are then electrocuted.remnants are then electrocuted.

Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial does not lose it’s strength and the sword is now ready for the next does not lose it’s strength and the sword is now ready for the next cell to contact it. (NOTE: Normal cleaning of the treated surfaces is cell to contact it. (NOTE: Normal cleaning of the treated surfaces is necessary in order for Active Armor to continue to be effective. Dirt necessary in order for Active Armor to continue to be effective. Dirt buildup, paint, dead microbes, etc. will cover the treatment buildup, paint, dead microbes, etc. will cover the treatment prohibiting it from killing microorganisms.)prohibiting it from killing microorganisms.)

How It WorksHow It Works

Active Armor forms an almost permanent bond with the surface substrate.A ‘wheat field’ of carbon shafts protects the surface from microbes.Microbes are drawn to the ‘wheat field’ of shafts by the positively charged nitrogen atom. The microbe’s cell wall is ruptured by the shafts.A positive charge from the nitrogen atom delivers a fatal electrical charge to the cell wall of the microbe.
