What is the Amerashield® Antimicrobial System?
Provide continuous antimicrobial protection for porous and non-porous surfaces for 90 days or longer. Amerashield® PreCleaner 485 cleans your surfaces, while BioShield® 75 protects your surfaces by prohibiting microbe reproduction. Amerashield® GreenKleen 420-4 works with BioShield® 75 to help maintain the protection, while making it easier to clean and preserve freshness between cleanings.

Typical antibacterial agents work like poisons, leaching into these microbes and disrupting one or more of their vital functions. The problems with this mechanism are 1) the chemical poisons are quickly exhausted or wear off the surface being protected, thus requiring almost constant reapplication and 2) the hardier microbes that survive can mutate and flourish even in the presence of these poisons. These mutated microorganisms are referred to as "SUPERBUGS".

Here is how Amerashield's Antimicrobial System, powered by BioShield® 75, is different. One end of its molecule creates a strong bond with a multitude of surfaces, forming a highly durable protective coating. The other end of the molecule forms a microscopic bed of molecular spikes, which puncture microbes. Since it physically ruptures the cell walls of these microbes, there are no poisons to be exhausted and no "SUPERBUGS" are created.

These spikes are long, pointed chains of atoms that are big enough to pierce the cell walls of various microbes. Being only about one millionth the diameter of a human hair, they are too small to harm the larger cells of mammals. Additionally, these chains of atoms carry a strong positive charge that attracts and executes negatively charged bacteria. Once dry, BioShield75® has been found to be effective against a huge array of microbes, including Staphylococcus aureus, E. coli, various Salmonella strains, black mold, athlete's foot, Influenza A and a host of others.
