Introduction

It has been well documented that microorganisms, both fungi and bacteria grow and thrive in urethane foam cells. It has also been demonstrated that antimicrobial agents can be added to urethane foam formulations to inhibit microorganisms that can cause allergic reactions, infections, odors, stains, and surface degradation.
Hyper - Foam containing the AEGIS Microbe Shield reduces
99.9% of the microorganisms it comes in contact with by disrupting their cell membranes. Because of this, microorganisms do not adapt and become resistant.

Hyperfoam can be made that will:

• possess broad-spectrum biological activity,


• maintain its effectiveness over time,


• be safe to man and to the environment,


• will resist adaptation by microorganisms.
  
  

This technology makes it possible for all manufacturers to meet increasing consumer demand for a wide variety of products having antimicrobial properties.
