PROTECT AGAINST THE INVISIBLE


DEFEND™ powered by Microban® is a distinct product line of high-performance porcelain antimicrobial floor, wall and mosaic tiles, continuously fighting the growth of up to 99% of bacteria on the surface. The DEFEND products were designed to promote cleaner spaces empowered with Microban® antimicrobial product protection and to provide a lifetime of cleanliness that does not wash off or wear away. The end result is a surface which is consistently protected, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

How DEFEND Works
Microban antimicrobial product protection works to disrupt the growth and reproduction of microorganisms that contaminate a treated surface.


Antimicrobial product protection is infused into a product, and starts to work as soon as a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface.


  •  Protein Damage: antimicrobial agents attack the proteins of a microbe, causing failure of essential functions.
  • Cell Disruption: antimicrobial agents damage the membrane of a microbe, leading to the loss of critical nutrients.
  • Oxidative Damage: antimicrobial agents cause increased oxygen levels, leading to significant damage to the internal system of microbes.
  • DNA Disruption: antimicrobial agents interfere with the genetics of a microbe, ultimately preventing its growth and reproduction.

By creating an inhospitable environment for microorganisms, built-in antimicrobials protect products from staining, bad odors, and premature degradation.
