Because the LIFE antimicrobial technology is incorporated into the material during the manufacturing stage, the active ingredient is durably built into the product and continuously protects the surface of the material by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms on the surface.

The effect is durable and will normally be effective for the lifetime of the antimicrobial treated finished product.

LIFE technologies are designed to resist UV degradation, abrasion, washings, and are resistant to various chemicals.
