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.
