Keep surfaces cleaner, longer
IonArmour® protected products contain technology which helps to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungus, and mold on the product surfaces. IonArmour® protected surfaces remain cleaner, longer, though please note that such in-built antimicrobial protection is not a means of preventing disease (see below for simple common sense steps you can take to prevent infection). If left unchecked, in just 24 hours or less, a lone bacteria cell on a surface can grow to become tens of millions of cells fouling the surface on which they grow. IonArmour® protected products are specifically designed to prevent this microbial growth.
Hygiene tips to reduce infection
There are some common sense steps that consumers can take to reduce the spread of microorganisms. For example:
- Wash hands frequently and thoroughly, especially if you think you have been in contact with harmful microorganisms
- Wash surfaces that contact food (e.g., utensils, cutting boards, counter tops) with a detergent and warm water
- Wash children's hands and toys regularly

"The polymer surface modification described is something that I and many others have long wanted for a wide variety of applications...It seems that I get a call every few months looking for a proposal to solve a problem of this type - and now I know of a promising approach."
"IonArmour fills an increasingly urgent and global need for advanced microbe eradication technology that offers people ultra high performance while remaining easy for product makers to adopt."
