COMPARISON

So, how does our PRO-Techs formula compare against other anti-microbial disinfectants?

In a word -- spectacularly.

The patented PRO-Techs formula is eco-friendly, incredibly efficient, long-lasting, while also being colorless and odorless. PRO-Techs is silane-based, and uses a revolutionary electric charge to kill microscopic threats.

The chart below highlights the advantages of having a silane-based product over any other silver- or triclosane-based options.

Mode of Action

Engineered nanostructure mechanically punctures the cell wall membrane

Releases ionic free radicals that react with cell DNA and disrupt critical life processes in the cell

Releases toxic polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) for consumption or cellular absorption, causing lethal mutations in the cell

Leaching

Does not leach, does not migrate

Leaches for its mode of action. Must leach to work

Durability

Permanent

Embedded in or on fiber binder or coating

Cost

Economical

Volatile, dependent on the cost of silver

Medium cost

Effectiveness

Broad spectrum on all known bacteria, fungi, algae, yeast, viruses

Effectiveness varies based on concentration and use conditions

Adaptive

Organisms

Laboratory-proven not to promote adaptive organisms (super bugs)

Can create adaptive zones. Resistant species identified.

Applications

Any hard or soft surface. Any fabric, any style, any process

Choices often limited to select fibers. Some not compatible with organic fabric. Interferes with common environmental chemicals

Can be applied differentially to multiple fabric types depending on application procedure, coating used, or expected end use and abuse

Distribution

Worldwide

Varies by company
