Taking Protection To A Cellular Level
Microban® has been setting the standard for antimicrobial technologies for 35 years, working with leading brands around the world and inspiring consumers to worry less and live more.
That’s why, in 2017, Speck partnered with Microban®. We wanted to get our hands on this revolutionary technology, and knew our customers would, too. So we integrated Microban® technology into almost the entire line of Presidio® cases. Microban® technology allows anyone to rest easy knowing this technology provides lifetime product protection by reducing stain and odor causing bacteria by up to 99% on the case surface.* Speck cases infused with Microban technology have been qualified with Test Method ISO22196.
What Is Microban® Technology?
Microban® technology is built-in protection for solid products, coatings and fibers. The technology works to reduce the presence of microbes on a surface that can cause staining, bad odors and premature degradation. Microban® has a portfolio of more than 25 approved antimicrobial technologies that are selected and optimized for a broad range of product applications.
How Does It Work?
Microban® antimicrobial technology works at a cellular level to continually disrupt the growth and reproduction of stain and odor causing microorganisms. It operates a multi-modal attack, damaging the protein, cell membrane, DNA, and internal systems of product damaging microbes.
How Is Microban® Technology Incorporated Into Our Products?
Microban® antimicrobial additives are integrated into the structure of your case, built-in during the manufacturing process, so it will never fade, break down, wear away, or wash off. The antimicrobial benefit becomes part of the molecular structure of the product. Microban antimicrobial technology works continuously to minimize the presence of damaging microbes throughout the lifecycle of a product, keeping your case cleaner between cleanings and easier to clean.

How does Microban® technology work?
Microban® antimicrobial technology works at a cellular level to continually disrupt the growth and reproduction of microorganisms. It operates a multi- modal attack, damaging the protein, cell membrane, DNA, and internal systems of a microbe.
How is Microban® incorporated into products?
Microban® antimicrobial additives can be supplied in powder, polymer pellet or liquid forms, depending on the product to be treated and the manufacturing process employed. For example, polymer masterbatches are supplied in a choice of carrier resins, closely matched to the virgin polymer to allow homogenous mixing and distribution.
What types of microorganisms does Microban® technology work against?
Microban® antimicrobial product protection will inhibit the growth of stain and odor causing microbes.
Does Microban® product protection begin working immediately?
Microban® antimicrobial product protection begins to work as soon as stain and odor causing microbe comes into contact with the product surface. It then works continuously to maintain a consistently reduces product degrading bacteria than would be expected on a product without Microban® antimicrobial product protection.
Does Microban® product protection reduce the need for regular cleaning?
No. Microban® has been designed to complement existing cleaning practices and should not replace them.
Is Microban® technology safe to use?
Microban® antimicrobial additives have undergone extensive independent laboratory testing and have a long history of safe and effective use, across a wide range of product types. Microban® additives are also registered with the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for their specific uses, and can be found in thousands of products made by manufacturers around the world.
How durable is Microban® product protection?
Integrated Microban® antimicrobial product protection will remain present in a product for its expected lifetime. The technology will not wash off, leach out or wear away.
How do Microban® antimicrobial additives differ from disinfectants?
While disinfectants, wipes, & liquid cleaning products provide a one-time single impact, executed by the user, Microban® antimicrobial product protection is built-in working continuously to minimize the presence of damaging microbes throughout the life of the product. Microban® technology works beyond recommended cleaning practices, by reducing stain and odor causing bacteria on your case surface over a 24-hour period, keeping your case cleaner between cleanings & easier to clean.
Which Speck cases have Microban®?
Most Speck iPhone, Android, Tablet, and AirPods cases have Microban® antimicrobial product protection. Exceptions do exist such as soft fabrics.
