Protect Your INVESTMENT

A Unique 2-part

Protective Technology

Since 1976, the unique ÆGIS Microbe Shield Technology

has been used throughout the United States and around the

world to treat and prevent sick building problems in

hospitals, healthcare facilities, offices, hotels, schools,

restaurants, stores, and private homes and to protect a vast

array of manufactured goods – from undergarments to

carpets and from touch screens to footwear.

• Destroys microorganisms by attacking and physically

piercing (disrupting) the cell membrane.

• Remains permanently affixed to the surface,

providing unsurpassed durability.

• Bonds virtually to all materials and surfaces, both

painted and unpainted.

• Does not rub off or migrate onto the skin or into

the environment.

• Unlike common leaching materials, does not set up

an environment that encourages the development of

resistant organisms (“super bugs”).

• Ongoing laboratory and sales support.

• Accepted, registered, and used worldwide.

Consumer Confidence Features and Benefits

mPale is custom engineered to provide a unique two part protective action upon application.

The first takes place when the mPale product is sprayed or wiped onto a surface. Upon drying,

which usually takes just a few minutes, mPale permanently bonds to that surface, providing a

durable and uniform polymer coating...a shield, if you will. The second action creates microscopic

spikes that protrude from the treated surface and exert a pull on microorganisms. Once

drawn to the surface, the spike penetrates the microorganism’s cell membrane and immediately

disrupts the lifecycle of the microorganism. It is this two part protective action that distinguishes

the mPale technology from other technologies. Most other antimicrobials contain heavy

metals or poisons which pass a lethal dose from the surface into the organisms and, over time, is

absorbed, causing them to die. Normally, this process has little or no durability and requires

frequent reapplication.

The lipoprotein and negatively charged cell

membrane is attracted to the positively

charged mPale treated surface and punctured

by the long molecular chain. The

microorganism is “electrocuted.” Since the

mPale technology is not consumed by the

organism, it stands ready to protect again

and again.

 

How It Works

FEATURES OF THE mPALE™ with AEGIS MICROBE SHIELD®  TECHNOLOGY ·        Created by Dow Corning in 1976; ·        Registered with the EPA in 1976;·        Features a unique “Bonding” chemistry that utilizes an engineered nano-structure that mechanically punctures the microorganism’s cell wall versus a “Leaching” process that works by releasing PCB’s or ionic free radicals that must be absorbed by the microbe in order to disrupt the cell’s lifecycle;·        Is odorless and colorless;·        Permanent—once applied will endure for the life of the substrate and remains effective with normal housekeeping;·        Does not create mutant or adaptive organisms;·        Does not migrate off the surface;·        Does not affect the texture of the surface onto which it is applied;·        Dries within minutes of application (temperature and humidity may affect dry time);·        Because it does not create adaptive organisms, it does not create “super bugs” that are resistant to antibiotics;·        Works across a broad spectrum of known bacteria, fungi, yeast and algae;·        Found in consumer goods products such as Dr. Scholl’s inserts, New Balance Shoes, Burlington Socks, Wilson Sporting Goods, Drypers, and Brillo Scrubbing Pads;·        Used around the world in hospitals and Cancer bone marrow transplant wings, commercial buildings, schools, residences, hotels, apartments, beach property;·        Has been applied to the locker room/training room facilities at the University of South Carolina, Ohio State, Virginia Tech, Southern Illinois, Cal State-Fullerton, Swarthmore College, University of Tulsa, University of Southeastern Missouri and others;·        Has been applied to the locker room/training room facilities used by the Miami Heat, Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Washington Redskins, Minnesota Vikings, Atlanta Hawks, Atlanta Thrashers, New Jersey Nets, Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic and others;·        Required by Institutional Resources and approved by the Greenville County School District for application to all new school buildings prior to the students populating the buildings;·        Multi-year warranties provided and backed by an insurance company.
