Sureshield coatings for metals contain quick-action and long-lasting antimicrobial compounds to inhibit the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria, molds, mildews, and fungi. The following table demonstrates the effectiveness of Sureshield coated metal vs. untreated coated metal over a period of 24 hours. To learn more about this test, please visit the test results page.
| Contact Time (Hours) | Sureshield Coated Metal | Untreated Coated Metal |
|---|---|---|
| 0 (Beginning Sample) | 206,000 | 206,000 |
| 1 | 19,300 | 220,000 |
| 2 | 3,800 | 407,000 |
| 4 | 300 | 1,070,000 |
| 24 | <50 | 1,650,000 |
After 24 hours, the number of living microorganisms on the Sureshield coated metal are immeasurable by standard laboratory equipment, while the number of microorganisms still living on the untreated coated metal have risen substantially under the same conditions.
