Harnessing nature's pure antimicrobial power to protect.
A natural based antimicrobial technology
NordShield® revolutionizes the way antimicrobials work. Our technology forms an ultra thin mechanical layer on the treated surface providing safe and long lasting antimicrobial protection.
The layer inhibits microbial growth on the treated surface or its pores. Adhesion forces keep the functional layer attached on the surface, and the branched molecular structure helps it stay absorbed in a porous material.
The innovative NordShield® technology can be used in variety of ways across industries.
NordShield® follows the GC 12 principles
of Green Chemistry
Green Chemistry (also called sustainable chemistry) has been established by EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency). Green chemistry is defined as the design of chemical products and processes that reduce or eliminate the generation of hazardous substances. Main aspects of NordShield® technology are that it is biodegradable and replacing toxic components with more sustainable ones (replacing e.g. heavy metals, QUATs and isothiazolinone).
Sustainable production from
forest industry side streams
For the production of NordShield® solutions, we utilise side streams of the forest industry to optimize the usage of our valuable Nordic forests. The end product is a sustainable one, thus fully supporting our partners' sustainability goals.
NordShield® technology sets a new standard
We provide a unique combination as a sustainable and high efficacy alternative to the problems of harmful antimicrobials currently in use. NordShield® technology is based on renewable, natural resources without heavy metals, thus minimizing the chemical load on our environment while being cost-competitive.
