BacShield Kit
BacShield Inhibits the Growth of Odor-Causing Bacteria, Mold and Mildew
BacShield is an antimicrobial, and is EPA-Registered for contol of odor-causing microbes.
BacShield's active ingredient is Chitosan:
BacShield is a product of modified carbohydrates found in crab shells (chitosan), a plentiful renewable resource. BacShield incorporates the environmentally derived antimicrobial properties of these crab shells into a treatment for textiles and surfaces. Chitosan works by reacting with the surface of bacterial cell walls, forming an impermeable layer which prevents the transport of ions and molecules, effectively destroying the bacteria.
BacShield is intended as a treatment to give antimicrobial and antifungal protection to the treated materials, and inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and fungi that cause odor, stains, discoloration, decay and deterioration of the treated materials.
