MicroShield® Antimicrobial Gasketing
Inhibits Microbial Growth
Pemko MicroShield® Antimicrobial Gasketing inhibits the growth of mold and other microorganisms that can create an unhealthy environment. This is especially a concern in healthcare facilities and schools where mold and bacteria can cause health issues for those with reduced resistance.
Antimicrobial products can help achieve the LEED for Schools credit for mold prevention. In addition, Pemko gasketing helps to meet the LEED Indoor Environmental Quality prerequisites and credits by helping to minimize exposure to tobacco smoke, indoor chemicals, and pollutants.
The antimicrobial gasketing is available under product codes AM44 and AM88, in the same styles as the popular S44 and S88 Fire/Smoke Gasketing.
