Close the door on bacteria!



MAKING A LESS FRIENDLY WORLD FOR BACTERIA.

Bacteria, mold and mildew have been an unwelcome companion for too long. Welcome to a world where destructive bacteria won't be able to function nearly as well as they used to. Now there's a substance called AgION™ antimicrobial compound that's designed for use in just about everything we come in contact with in our daily lives.

 


SARGuard™ is a revolutionary new hardware finish coating incorporating AgION which permanently suppresses the growth of bacteria, algae, fungus, mold and mildew. The AgION antimicrobial compound is a silver-based antimicrobial agent. SARGuard products are ideal in countless hardware applications where vigilance in the war against bacteria and mold is critical, such as hospitals, assisted living facilities, clinics, labs, offices, schools and daycare facilities.

The AgION antimicrobial in SARGuard is always working to protect the treated surface. For most types of microorganisms, the majority of contaminants will be gone in as little as 20 minutes. The coating is permanent under normal wear and tear. The AgION antimicrobial compound is safe and proven non-toxic. The AgION antimicrobial is registered with the EPA, the NSF and is even FDA listed for use in medical and food preparation equipment.

Stainless and carbon steel products treated with coatings similar to SARGuard, containing the AgION antimicrobial compound, have been used in Japan for about 7 to 8 years in appliance, food and restaurant equipment. In the US, this new antimicrobial compound is used in footwear, water bottles, clothing, food preparation surfaces, HVAC products and medical applications. There are no comparable products known to be on the market today offering the unique properties of the AgION antimicrobial compound.
