Shieldtech

ANTIMICROBIAL SEAT COVERS?

ShieldTech is like Ironweave on steroids. It’s the same 1000 denier Cordura but with an antimicrobial, anti-odor, and moisture-wicking treatment.

ShieldTech is the perfect application for industries where multiple people share the same vehicle or in hot climates where the driver is likely to get sweaty.

In lab testing with S. aureus and K. pneumoniae organisms, ShieldTech eliminated 99.99% of organism growth in a 24-hour period, compared to untreated fabric.

HOW’S IT WORK?

The coating utilizes silver and copper ions (which have been used since 4000 BC to kill bacteria) in a zeolite carrier to starve, sterilize, and suffocate microbes.

A zeolite carrier is a microporous, three-dimensional crystalline solid of aluminum silicate that’s been charged with ions of the active ingredient (silver and copper, in this case) Zeolites are naturally occurring and born of volcanic ash.

The antimicrobial effects are only released when needed in order to have the longest-lasting effects. It’s been tested to be effective after 100 machine washes.

SHIELDTECH GERM KILLING TEST #1 (K. PNEUMONIAE)

SAMPLE	ORGANISM COUNT (ZERO CONTACT TIME)	ORGANISM COUNT (24-HOUR CONTACT TIME)	% REDUCTION FROM CONTROL AT 24 HOURS
Untreated Control Fabric	140,000	530,000,000	No Reduction
Test 1 (20 washes, dry)		1500	99.9999%
Test 2 (40 washes, dry)		600	99.9999%
Test 3 (20 washes, wet)		11,900	99.99%
Test 4 (40 washes, wet)		<100	99.9999%

All samples were tested with K. pneumoniae, an organism that causes Pneumonia. All samples had the same organism count at zero contact time. “Washes” signifies the number of times the sample was washed to simulate real-world use. Wet tests were performed in a wet environment, dry tests were performed in a dry environment. Test results have been simplified for ease of understanding, full lab results are available upon request.

SHIELDTECH GERM KILLING TEST #2 (S. AUREUS)

SAMPLE	ORGANISM COUNT (ZERO CONTACT TIME)	ORGANISM COUNT (24-HOUR CONTACT TIME)	% REDUCTION FROM CONTROL AT 24 HOURS
Untreated Control Fabric	58,000	180,000,000	No Reduction
Test 1 (20 washes, dry)		100,000	99.9%
Test 2 (40 washes, dry)		17,100	99.9%
Test 3 (20 washes, wet)		9,400	99.99%
Test 4 (40 washes, wet)		8,300	99.99%

All samples were tested with S. aureus, an organism that causes staph infections. All samples had the same organism count at zero contact time. “Washes” signifies the number of times the sample was washed to simulate real-world use. Wet tests were performed in a wet environment, dry tests were performed in a dry environment. Test results have been simplified for ease of understanding, full lab results are available upon request.

WHO NEEDS SHIELDTECH ?

DELIVERY

People in Last Mile Delivery are typically moving fast and working up a sweat. ShieldTech will kill the odor-causing bacteria in the sweat that gets on the seat and eliminate the smell that comes from it.

PEOPLE IN HOT CLIMATES

The same reason as Delivery people. Killing the bacteria in sweat means that you don’t get the Swamp A$$ smell in vehicles (actual quote from a customer)

SHARED VEHICLES

ShieldTech is great for shared vehicles because multiple people sharing the same vehicle means larger risk of spreading bacteria. ShieldTech eliminates 99.99% of the bacteria so it’s less likely to be shared around.

FIRST RESPONDERS

ShieldTech is ideal for first responders because it kills the microbes in sweat and other bodily fluids. Check out Responder ShieldTech for the perfect First Responder Seat Covers. It’s antimicrobial and reinforced in the high wear areas to protect the seat from being worn by duty belts, weapons, and radios.

Letting you down isn’t something we’re cool with.

TigerTough was founded on the principles of high quality and service to back it up; if we’re going to put our name on something, we’re going to make dang sure we’ve done a good job at it.
