Microban Launches Ascera Antimicrobial Technology

Microban International has introduced its latest technology – Ascera. This patent-pending, next generation antimicrobial technology uses an active ingredient inspired by nature*, and is designed for use in olefinic polymers and solvent-based coatings. Ascera is sustainable, metal free and less toxic than alternative technologies.

As a global leader in antimicrobial and odor control technologies, Microban is committed to the development of solutions that support product sustainability by extending their useful lifetimes. According to the company, Ascera exemplifies the company’s commitment to sustainability by offering lasting product protection while maintaining critical attributes, such as ease of incorporation, handling safety, and good chemical, thermal and UV stability. Ascera will perform for the product’s expected lifetime when applied according to Microban’s standards, effectively inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria to prevent stains and premature aging of the finished product.

Ascera is available to manufacturers in the US and Asia, along with Microban’s support and expertise.
