Inhibit Growth of Microbes

AMPC Aegis® Microbe Shield modifies treated surfaces by creating an inhospitable environment for microbes including bacteria, fungi and mould.

Broad-Spectrum Defense

Aegis® is effective against the growth of microbes including bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, algae, yeasts, and biofilm. Conventional products kill by way of poisoning the organism or disrupting a vital life process, designed to act and dissipate quickly & have a limited range of effectiveness.

Broad-Spectrum Defense

Aegis® is effective against the growth of microbes including bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew, algae, yeasts, and biofilm. Conventional products kill by way of poisoning the organism or disrupting a vital life process, designed to act and dissipate quickly & have a limited range of effectiveness.

Long-Term Protection

Because Aegis® uses a covalent bond to adhere to surfaces, it remains viable for as long as the surface is intact. Surfaces can become damaged with time, including scrapes, cracks, and gaps, and it is recommended that Aegis® be reapplied annually

Frequently Asked Questions

1Will Aegis® Adversely Affect Skin or the Environment?
AEGIS® has decades of experience. The antimicrobial is permanently bound to the surfaces it protects, it does not leach from the fabric or treated surface to the skin or into the environment. In fact, AEGIS® is used on baby nappies to prevent rash.
2What is the difference between the AEGIS® Microbe Shield products and other antimicrobials?
Conventional products penetrate living cells and kill by way of poisoning the organism or disrupting a vital life process. They are designed to act quickly and dissipate quickly. Most commercial antimicrobials used for treating surfaces do an adequate job of killing bacteria and fungi, although most have a limited range of effectiveness. AEGIS® is not a disinfectant or sanitizer. AEGIS® technology takes a totally unique approach. It delivers a bacteriostatic effect, but, unlike the conventional methods, it also provides long-term control of growth on treated surfaces, often for the life of that surface. The surface itself is modified to make it antimicrobial active.
3Do the AEGIS® products give off gases after application?
No. AEGIS® does not volatilize, dissipate, or leach onto other surfaces or into the environment. The chemistry polymerizes where it is applied and forms a permanent bond that typically lasts for the life of the treated surface. Normal cleaning should not remove the treatment; although it can be abraded away.
4How is the treatment applied?
For Soft Furnishing
The AEGIS products are applied in aqueous solution and can be inserted into almost any wet process during manufacturing at the mill. They can also be applied to finished goods. The antimicrobial is easily integrated into a moist jet, pad, and batch processes. The antimicrobial is cationic so it mixes well with other cationic and nonionic finishes (most softeners) and performs well in the same bath.
For Hard surfaces
AEGIS can be treated on any hard surfaces by either fogging, wipe down, soaking or paint rolling on the target substrate

How Aegis® Works

Antimicrobial Protection Company (AMPC®) is proud to utilize (AEM 5700) known world wide as “Aegis® Microbe Shield®”, a revolutionary innovation changing the battle against the effects of bacteria, mold, mildew, yeasts, and fungi.

Aegis®'s active ingredient is composed of positively - charged molecules shaped like a layer of swords; this coating actively prevents and controls the development of Bacteria, Mould, Fungus, Yeast and Algae as an active surface protectant. Once applied and bonded to a hard or soft surfaces, Aegis® Microbe Shield® protects the surface 24/7 for up to 365 days.

Aegis® is not a disinfectant - Aegis® is a long term Anti-Microbial Surface Protectant
