Antimicrobial technology applied to everyday items to protect what’s inside
Having TNS Nano in your product means:
How does TNS Nano technology work?
Antimicrobial solutions are incorporated directly into the surfaces. Upon contact with microorganisms, the technology continuously inhibits their growth and spread, without the need for reapplication after each wash or use.
What is the antimicrobial solution?
An antimicrobial solution is a technology applied to the surface of a material to help inhibit the growth of viruses, bacteria, and fungi on that surface. Incorporated during the manufacturing process, it works continuously, helping to keep the product more hygienic and in better condition throughout its use.
