Microban Technology
The world’s only artificial grass with built-in antimicrobial technology. The only artificial grass that fits every lifestyle.
What is Microban®
- Microban® is the global leader in built-in antimicrobial, odor control, and surface modification technologies that keep products cleaner and fresher for longer, so you can worry less, enjoy life more, and Live On™.
- Microban® technology inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, keeping your yard cleaner and reducing odors.
1. Full Integration
The technology is integrated during the manufacturing process and becomes part of the molecular structure of the product. It will not wash off or wear away.
2. Contamination
The treated surface becomes contaminated with bacteria as a result of contact.
3. Technology at Work:
The technology penetrates the bacteria and inhibits their ability to reproduce, make food, or eliminate waste.
4. A Cleaner Surface
Ultimately, the treated surface remains cleaner and is protected against the proliferation of stain and odor-causing bacteria.
Microban Key Features:
- By inhibiting the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, Microban® technology helps make cleaning even easier.
- Microban® technology helps reduce odors caused by pet urine.
- Microban® antimicrobial agents prevent stain-and-odor-causing microbes from growing or reproducing. On an unprotected surface, bacteria can double in numbers every 20 minutes.
How It’s Built-In
- Microban® odor-control and antimicrobial agents are integrated into the blades of the turf during the manufacturing process.
- This patented technology never washes off or wears away and stays active for the life of the product.
Microban FAQs
How do products with Microban® antimicrobial protection work?
Microban® protection inhibits the growth of microorganisms. When microbes come in contact with the product surface, Microban® protection penetrates the cell wall of the microorganism and disrupts cell functions making the microorganism unable to function, grow and reproduce.
What benefit do I get from products with Microban® antimicrobial protection?
Microban® protection continuously fights the growth of microbes such as odor and stain-causing bacteria. Microban® protection makes products easier to clean and keeps them cleaner between cleanings.
What types of microorganisms does Microban® protection work against?
Microban® antimicrobial protection is effective against most common bacteria that cause stains, odors, and product degradation. Microban® technology is not designed to protect users from disease.
How do I know that Microban® antimicrobial product protection is safe to use?
Microban® technology has undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and has a long history of safe use. It is registered with the EPA and other regulatory agencies in other countries for all applications in which it is used. Microban® additives can be found in leading consumer and industrial brands around the world.
Does this mean I don’t have to clean my products as much or as carefully?
No. Microban® protection provides continuous antimicrobial protection that protects the products, making them easier to clean and keeping them cleaner between cleanings. However, normal cleaning practices should be maintained.
Does Microban® protection begin working immediately?
Microban® protection begins to work as soon as the microorganism comes into contact with the product surface. It then works continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden than would be expected on a product without Microban® antimicrobial protection. Under the right conditions, microbes on an untreated surface can double every 20 minutes! Microban® technology is not a disinfectant and is not a substitute for normal cleaning practices.
How long does Microban® antimicrobial protection work?
Microban® protection is built-in during the manufacturing process and will not wash off or wear away. Microban® protection is engineered to provide continuous antimicrobial product protection for the useful lifetime of the product.
ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR HOMES & BUSINESSES
Landscapes • Putting Greens • Playgrounds • Sports • Dogs & Pets
Artificial Turf is becoming more popular each year: We offer a diverse range of artificial grass surfaces for a playground, putting green, dog run, or for your lawn at home or business. We are committed to quality, value, and customer satisfaction.
Green-R Turf Artificial Grass is made in the U.S.A and uses the finest raw materials available. The yarns have all the highest levels of ultraviolet inhibitors available in the industry. For this reason, we offer the industry’s longest warranty against ultraviolet degradation and excessive fading.
Maintaining Your Artificial Turf Landscape is Simple
Artificial grass is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. You will need to complete a few easy maintenance tasks to keep it looking its best:
- Rinse It: Airborne dust and dirt can settle on your artificial grass and make it look dingy. Fortunately, cleaning it off is as simple as rinsing with water.
- Brush It: Heavy foot traffic can cause artificial grass to look flat and matted. To prevent or correct this, simply brush it against the direction of the blades with a plastic-bristled brush. This will get the blades standing up perkily again.
Power Brooming:
When synthetic turf fibers are not brushed vertically they create a shiny appearance. This is due to the reflection of light. Defibrillation diminishes this shiny look by placing the fibers in an upright position and thereby reducing the amount of glare from the sun. When done correctly, defibrillation creates a much darker and plusher appearance.
- Defibrillation can be done manually, with a rake and/or push broom, alternatively, it can be done mechanically with a motorized broom.
