7 OUTSTAND technology tougher than your toughest environment High Performance OutStand s patent-pending glaze technique creates a crystalline-shieldlike layer of protection, which will last the life of the tile. That s why tiles manufactured with OutStand Technology have superior surface wear resistance, and are perfect for heavy commercial applications. Crystalline-shield-like finish Microban Antimicrobial TechnoloGY During the manufacturing process, the glaze is infused with Microban Antimicrobial Technology, which inhibits the growth of stain- and odorcausing bacteria on the surface of the tile. The result is an additional layer of durable, long lasting protection, keeping the tile cleaner between cleanings. BACTERIAL GROWTH ON TILE SURFACE OVER 24-HOUR PERIOD* CONTINUOUS Protection Microban Technology is incorporated into the glaze during the manufacturing process, so it starts working the moment the tile is complete. Unlike other antimicrobial agents on the market, Microban doesn t require UV light to be effective. It won t wash off or wear away, giving your design an added level of durable, long lasting protection and it s perfect for high traffic environments. protected with microban PTCA Certified Some foreign imports entering the market today claim to be porcelain tile, but do not actually meet the U.S. standards for porcelain putting you at risk of specifying an inferior product for your project. PTCA protects you by guaranteeing the products you specify are, in fact, porcelain tiles. unprotected *This information is based upon standard laboratory tests and is provided for comparative purposes to substantiate antimicrobial activity for non-public health applications.
