Microban antimicrobial product protection is built-in to Zirc product to resist the growth of odor and stain causing bacteria. Microban technology works by interrupting key cell functions that allow the microorganism to grow and reproduce. Microban protection begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the product surface. It then works continuously to maintain a lower bio-burden than what there would be on a product without Microban protection.
Microban protection helps Zirc's products (anchor text to products page) stay cleaner in between cleanings. Microban is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices and is not designed to protect users from disease-causing microorganisms. It does, however, provide an added level of cleanliness and reassurance that Microban technology is continuously working to keep the growth of microorganisms to a minimum.
Microban protection can be found in over 750 products around the world. Microban can be found in many every day products such as; household appliances, vacuum cleaners, countertops, cutting boards, towels and many others.

These images below were taken using a confocal microscope, and you can see how Microban technology inhibits the growth of microorganisms over a 24 hour period.
This information is based upon standard laboratory tests and is provided for comparative purposes to substantiate antimicrobial activity for non-public health applications. Microban technology is not designed to replace good building practices or protect users from disease causing microorganisms.
