OVERVIEW
_________________________________________________
What is Microban®?
Microban® is odourless, colourless and tasteless.
Microban® inhibits the growth of micro-organ­isms by permeating the cell walls and destroy­ing the micro-organism cells. These cells are then no longer able to reproduce and growth is prohibited.
GRUNDIG offers an effective way to clean hygienically with the impressive technology from Microban®. The GRUNDIG dust filters and dust bags are equipped with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection.
This even inhibits the spread of tiny microscopic particles including house mites, pollen and dust.
Dangerous bacteria can barely survive with the integrated Microban® hygiene protection in the dust bags and filters.
The Microban® technology has been tested in independent laboratories and certified, thus making a significant contribution towards a healthier household.
HEPA filter
HEPA stands for Highly Efficient Particulate Air. HEPA filters are highly efficient particulate air filters which trap over 99.9% of all airborne dust particles larger than 0.1 to 0.3 microme­tres. Viruses, respirable dust, dust mite larvae and deposits, pollen, smoke particles, asbestos, bacteria various toxic dust and aerosols are trapped in the filter.
