What is Microban® antimicrobial product protection?

Microban® International custom engineers durable antimicrobial solutions for a broad range of product applications. Our engineers work with over 20 different antimicrobial technologies in order to deliver the most effective antimicrobial solution for a specific product application. Our team of engineers and microbiologists evaluate each individual product application and develop an antimicrobial solution based on that application’s usage conditions, those microorganisms likely to impact the application and the product’s manufacturing parameters.

Lucite Microban®

On an unprotected product, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes! Microban® antimicrobial technology works 24/7 to keep Lucite cast acrylic sheet cleaner between cleanings by inhibiting the growth of bacteria that can cause stains, odors and product deterioration. the first commercially available thermoplastic that can be detected by the standard metal detection equipment that is typically used in quality inspection. This advancement in technology will reduce the risk of product contamination, and help minimize the possibility of significant financial loss.

Lucite® Aviation

Lucite® Aviation grade offers superior optical quality and thickness tolerances for nonmilitary aircraft applications. Credited to meet or exceed the current version of LP-391 and ASTM-D-4802. Lucite® is half the weight of glass with double the impact resistance, Aviation grade sheet offers excellent optical characteristics, thickness tolerances, light stability, and low internal stress levels for consistent performance. Aviation grade sheet is weatherable and can be easily cut, sawed, machined, thermoformed and cemented.

Lucite® Museum Grade

Museum Grade UV Max is a specialty acrylic sheet made to offer the maximum protection possible from harmful UV light. This sheet filters out 98% of damaging UV light which causes fading and decomposition of photos, artwork and exhibits. Visible light ranges between the wavelenghts of 400 tto 700 nm, while UV light is in the 200-400 nm wave length. For maximum protection, you need to block any light between the wavelengths of 200-400 nm, but let light through between 400 and 700 for the material to be transparent.
