Technology AEGIS Antimicrobial

The reason why Merrell shoes never smell bad is “AEGIS Antimicrobial Technology”. The AEGIS Microbe Shield technology controls the growth of odor-causing bacteria and fungi, reducing odor, staining and deterioration which is the most common result of repeatedly using active wear and equipment. Just because you are active doesn’t mean your clothes have to look or smell like it!

The active ingredient in ÆGIS Microbe Shield forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer that chemically bonds to the treated surface. You could think of it as a layer of electrically charged swords. When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine “sword” punctures the cell membrane and the electrical charge “shocks” the cell. Since nothing is transferred to the now dead cell, the antimicrobial doesn’t lose strength and the “sword” is ready for the next cell to contact it.
