OVERVIEW
®
The Microban® technology has been tested in
independent laboratories and certified, thus
making a significant contribution towards a
healthier household.
What is Microban ?
Microban® is odourless, colourless and tasteless.
Microban® inhibits the growth of micro-organ-
isms by permeating the cell walls and destroy-
ing the micro-organism cells. These cells are
then no longer able to reproduce and growth is
prohibited.
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 microme-
tres. Viruses, respirable dust, dust mite larvae
and deposits, pollen, smoke particles, asbestos,
bacteria various toxic dust and aerosols are
trapped in the filter.
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.
