Key offerings of the Protect360®<br />

“Not surprisingly, we have<br />
learned that the majority of<br />
people staying in a hotel<br />
room or being cared for in<br />
a healthcare facility expect<br />
high levels of cleanliness – an<br />
expectation that has greatly<br />
increased over the course of<br />
the past several months,” said<br />
Brian Aylward, senior director<br />
of global textiles for Microban.<br />
“Through our partnership with<br />
Manchester Mills we are able<br />
to educate more people about<br />
technologies that ensure the<br />
cleanliness textiles to provide<br />
peace of mind.” Microban’s<br />
portfolio of technologies continues<br />
to work to revolutionize<br />
product performance with<br />
protection that lives on. Its<br />
portfolio of solutions includes<br />
AEGIS®, SilverShield® and<br />
ZPTech® for antimicrobial product<br />
protection, and Scentry®<br />
and Scentry Revive® for odor<br />
control. As part of its commitment<br />
to sustainable manufacturing<br />
processes, Microban<br />
