Germ Shield

Germ Shield™ Technology: Effective barrier against enveloped viruses

Germ Shield™ Premium Protection is a scientifically formulated anti-microbial and anti-enveloped virus treatment that creates a durable polymeric barrier, inhibiting mold, bacteria, and enveloped virus growth on treated surfaces.

Applied to substrates such as textile laminates, upholstery, mattresses, carpets, and building materials, it delivers extended microbial resistance, lowers allergen exposure, and improves indoor environmental quality while enhancing product longevity and user safety.

Its use supports environmental safety protocols and regulatory standards for building maintenance and air quality. Integrated into lamination and finishing processes, Germ Shield™ complements thermal and UV coatings, boosting durability and performance of advanced composites.
