Microban International is pleased to introduce its latest ground-breaking

technology – Ascera(TM). This patent-pending, next generation antimicrobial

technology uses an active ingredient inspired by nature*, and is designed for

use in olefinic polymers and solvent-based coatings. Ascera is sustainable,

metal free and less toxic than alternative technologies, and provides the

lifelong antimicrobial product protection that Microban is known for around the

world.

As the global leader in antimicrobial and odor-control technologies, Microban

is committed to the development of solutions that support product

sustainability by extending their useful lifetimes. Ascera exemplifies the

company's commitment to sustainability by offering lasting product protection

while maintaining critical attributes, such as ease of incorporation, safe

handling, and good chemical, thermal and UV stability. Ascera will perform for

the product's expected lifetime when applied according to Microban's standards,

effectively inhibiting the growth of odor-causing bacteria to prevent stains

and premature aging of the finished product.

"Microban has always led the antimicrobial industry with technological

innovations that contribute to product sustainability," said Dr. Souvik Nandi,

Vice President of R&D at Microban International. "In the past decade,

regulatory and environmental groups have put increasing pressure on many of the

antimicrobial chemistries that are currently used. As a result, Microban has

invested significant resources in identifying naturally occurring solutions

that are more sustainable and effective. We are very proud to roll out Ascera,

which represents the culmination of many years of intensive research. This is

the first of an exciting series of nature-inspired solutions that we will be

launching in the next few years for different market segments and material

types."

"As the global leader in antimicrobial, odor-control and surface modification

solutions, Microban is always standing at the forefront of the industry. As we

work towards our vision of becoming the most trusted brand in ultimate

cleanliness and product protection, we want the world to rely on Microban for

best-in-class solutions." Michael Ruby, President of Microban International,

said. "Our R&D teams are laser-focused on developing a range of cutting-edge

technologies that are nature inspired for the different market sectors we

serve. Our partners look to us first for what is next. Ascera will help leading

brands to create clean, odor-free and high value end-use products, which their

customers will choose to support sustainability and live a clean and refreshing

lifestyle."
