How Does Shield by Panaz® Protect?
Shield by Panaz® Fabrics:• Utilize silane-based technology that’s been tested and proven to be permanently antimicrobial* to inhibit the growth
of mold and mildew without releasing toxins into the environment.
• Are stain resistant and liquid repellent so you can reduce the labor and maintenance costs associated with removing curtains for laundering.
• Are flame retardant.
• Can be paired with antimicrobial mesh to inhibit the growth of mold and mildew on cubicle curtains.
• Can also be used as Shower Curtains due to their ability to repel liquids (Shield Classic Only).
How the Antimicrobial Technology Works:
Microbe Shield
Microbes
Microbe shield technology carries positively charged silane molecules; along with carbon chain spears.
When the microbe cell comes into contact with the treated surface, the microbe shield technology protects the product from deterioration.
* When laundered per manufacturer’s instructions.
Rather than diminish, the microbe shield technology remains intact throughout the lifespan of the product.
With Shield technology, liquids bead up and run off the fabric for 24/7 protection against stains.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is Shield by Panaz® fabric?
A: Shield by Panaz® is a revolutionary fabric line originally developed in the United Kingdom by textile manufacturer Panaz. Shield fabric combines antimicrobial properties with stain resistance, liquid repellence, and easy maintenance. The fabric incorporates microbe shield technology that’s been proven to be permanently antimicrobial.
Q: How are Shield by Panaz® fabrics cleaned? Can I launder them? A: Because Shield by Panaz® fabrics are antimicrobial and repel stains, the need to launder the curtains is eliminated or reduced, saving time and money in maintenance, labor and laundering costs.

Repeated washing does not destroy the inherent properties of Shield fabric if laundered according to manufacturer instructions. Specific washing test data is available upon request.
Q: How does Shield by Panaz® technology work?
A: Shield by Panaz® fabrics form a covalent bond to a silane-based chemical. The patented chemical process uses nano particles to create a permanent bond to the molecular structure of the fibers making the antimicrobial, stain resistant and flame retardant properties integral to the fabric for the life of the product.
Q: What stains will Shield by Panaz® repel?
A: Shield repels most liquids and substances, including blood, betadyne, urine, beverages (water, coffee, soda, etc.) and other oil-based substances (ketchup, mustard, grease, etc.).
