Benefits of AgION
1
䢇 AgION antimicrobial technology helps provide protection
against product damaging microbes on the painted surfaces
of the phone.
䢇 AgION antimicrobial is effective in protecting the product
against a broad spectrum of microbes.
䢇 AgION helps inhibit the ability of microbes to grow and
spread on the painted surfaces of the phone.
䢇 The active ingredient helps break down enzymes in the
microbe, inhibiting its ability to reproduce and spread on the
painted surfaces of the phone.
䢇 Studies have shown that surfaces with AgION antimicrobial
can reduce the amount of certain product damaging
microbes by 99%.
䢇 The AgION coating will protect the painted surfaces of the
product against product damaging microbes for the life of
the product.
Safety
䢇 AgION antimicrobial protection is based on silver, a safe, non-
toxic additive to the phone paint. Silver is widely used as an
antimicrobial agent in many environments and industries.
䢇 AgION antimicrobial technology is safe to use. Thorough
testing has shown the additive to be less toxic than table salt
and less irritating than talcum powder.
How It Works
䢇 The technology continuously inhibits the growth of product
damaging microbes on the phone's painted surfaces.The
active ingredient helps break down enzymes in the microbe,
inhibiting its ability to reproduce and spread on the painted
surfaces on the phonee.
䢇 The active ingredient in AgION is silver, in the form of silver
ions.
Accreditation
䢇 The AgION antimicrobial compound is registered with the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a preservative and
bacteriostatic agent for use in the manufacturing of
polymers and plastics.
䢇 NSF, FDA-listed.
1. The antimicrobial technology is applied only to the painted
surfaces of the Motorola iDEN phones, thereby providing
protection against damage to such surfaces caused by microbes,
but does not extend such protection to the end user.
