General Questions

What is antimicrobial coating?
Antimicrobial coating is a surface treatment that continuously eliminates bacteria, viruses, mold, and fungi on contact. Shield23pro uses inorganic ion technology (silver, copper, zinc) for long-lasting protection that works 24/7 without reapplication.
How long does Shield23pro coating last?
Commercial-grade coatings last 5+ years under normal use conditions. Residential products provide 6-12 months of protection depending on surface usage and cleaning frequency.
Is the coating visible?
No, Shield23pro coating is completely invisible and does not alter the color, texture, or feel of treated surfaces. It works without changing the appearance of your surfaces.

Technical Questions

What surfaces can be treated?
Shield23pro coating is compatible with virtually all surfaces including metals, glass, plastics, wood, textiles, ceramics, painted surfaces, and composites.
How does inorganic ion technology work?
Inorganic ions (silver Ag+, copper Cu2+, zinc Zn2+) penetrate microbial cell membranes, bind to cellular proteins and DNA, and disrupt enzyme function and cell division. This multi-target mechanism prevents microbial resistance and provides continuous protection.
What organisms does it work against?
Shield23pro is effective against bacteria (including MRSA, E. coli), viruses, mold, mildew, and fungi with 99.9% efficacy based on laboratory testing.
Does cleaning affect the coating?
Normal cleaning with household products does not affect efficacy. Avoid abrasive cleaners or bleach solutions over 5% to maintain coating integrity.

Application Questions

Can I apply the coating myself?
Residential DIY kits are available for home use with easy spray or wipe application. Commercial applications require certified professional installation to ensure proper coverage and durability.
How long does application take?
Most residential applications take 2-4 hours. Commercial projects vary based on size but typically take 1-3 days for complete coverage.
When can the surface be used after application?
Surfaces are touch-dry in 1-2 hours. Commercial coatings require 24-48 hours for full cure. Residential products are fully cured in 4-8 hours.
