Bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi can be discovered in every environment and are part of normal everyday life. Even in the cleanest environments, many kinds of microbes will begin to multiply on surfaces and sometimes reach harmful levels. If these contaminated surfaces are touched by individuals or contact everyday products, the transfer of microbes begins, resulting in cross-contamination. Pathogenic bacteria, such as MRSA, STAPH and E.coli can be spread via cross-contamination, which can lead to infection and illness in humans and animals.

Bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi can also build-up on products, making them unclean, unhygienic, or discolored. Pest Management's bio-static antimicrobial GermLogic™ applications provide durable surface protection, continuously working 24/7 to inhibit the growth of microbes which can cause sickness, stains, odors or declination of products. This protection will not wash off or wear away, giving it durable antimicrobial product surface protection for the useful life of the product.

How GermLogic™ Works

The active ingredient of GermLogic™ is an organo-functional silane technology. It physically disrupts or “disembowels” the target organism’s cell membrane on contact. GermLogic™ product molecularly bonds to a treated substrate, thus making the entire material itself antimicrobial. This means that organisms do not metabolize and minimizes the risk of the development of resistance known as mutagenicity. Through extensive studies, this colorless, odorless, and non-leeching technology was found to be safe and effective against a broad spectrum of virus, fungi, bacteria, algae, and yeast.

GermLogic™ in Manufacturing

GermLogic™ Technology can be implemented into your company's manufacturing processes without any drastic changes. Implementing GermLogic™ does not require any significant equipment purchases or line changes, as with silver or Triclosan based technologies.

GermLogic™ can be applied in a variety of processes such as spraying, dipping, molding and extruding. Our experienced engineers can review your processes and help you make the best informed decision as to where and how the GermLogic™ will be applied.

We will work hand in hand with your engineering personnel to optimize the inclusion of the GermLogic™ Technology into your finished product.

GermLogic™ can be embedded in or coated on products to keep the microbes in our environment at safe levels. Our product molecularly bonds to any treated substrate, making the entire material itself antimicrobial. Our bio-static antimicrobial additive applications provide durable surface protection, continuously working 24/7, to inhibit the growth of microbes which can cause sickness, stains, odors, or declination of products.

GermLogic™ can be incorporated in a variety of materials, including powder coating, gel coats, latex paints, polymers, fabrics, paper products, and wood.

GermLogic™ Antimicrobial is Green

GermLogic™ can also be applied to multiple areas such as: kitchen and bath, indoor/outdoor surfaces, plastic, stone, metal surfaces, automotive surfaces, footwear, pet odor areas, laundry and carpet. The antimicrobial protection is non-leaching and environmentally friendly. Pest Management Inc can provide your home or business a customized GermLogic™ treatment plan.

Effectiveness

GermLogic™ is based on a unique antimicrobial technology which effectively controls bacteria, fungi, algae and yeasts on a wide variety of treated articles and substrates. The base active is registered with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and comparable regulatory bodies around the world.

The antimicrobial has been used safely and effectively in all areas from construction to plastics as well as hospital applications.
