Microbes Inactivation

Antibacterial Mechanism

• Prevents formation of cell protein and cell walls.
• Disrupts Energy metabolism and development of microorganisms.
• Fusion with the cell membrane and enters the cell through the structures of organelles, protein, nucleic acids, etc. The active ingredients destroy cell contents, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids to inhibit bacteria and mold reproduction.

Airborne Contamination Control

When microorganisms come into contact with the filter media, the antimicrobial agent penetrates the outer layer of the microorganism to cause the disruption and destruction of the vital functions which leads to the inability to grow or reproduce
