Antimicrobial overview
Antimicrobials are organic or inorganic compounds that suppress the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria, molds, mildews, and fungi. Regulated by the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States and Canada, and several other agencies around the world, antimicrobials can be used in or on a wide variety of materials, including, but not limited to, coatings, plastics, sealants, and textiles.

Antimicrobial Powders
Pioneer is the licensed powder manufacturer for Sureshield Coatings Company – the market leader in antimicrobial coatings for metals.

How SURESHIELD® enhances products
Whether your product is susceptible to maintaining odors or is used in an area where microbial growth may occur, Sureshield® provides long-lasting protection to the coating. In addition to inhibiting the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria, molds, mildews, and fungi on the coating, Sureshield also resists fingerprints and is easy to clean.

Antimicrobial Protection
Is your product used in an environment that promotes the growth of odors and stains caused by microbes? Eliminate odors, stains, and product degradation caused by microbes by treating your products with Sureshield®. Sureshield® coatings prevent odors and stains from occurring on the coating by prohibiting the coating from being conducive to microbial outgrowth and germination. Using the same antimicrobial technology found in hundreds of name-brand products around the world, Sureshield® provides antimicrobial coating protection for metal.
Now, for the manufacturer, Sureshield® coatings for metal are readily available, easy to incorporate, and cost effective. No matter what type of metal you use, there is a Sureshield coating to fit your specific product requirements. Available in powder or liquid form, there is a Sureshield® product to meet your specification with little or no change to your existing manufacturing processes.

Fingerprint Resistance
Does your product have an important aesthetic value derived from the metal it is made of? For example, a stainless steel refrigerator derives aesthetic value from the exposed stainless steel on the outside of the unit. If your product draws aesthetic value from the metal, then your product may easily show unsightly fingerprints, smudges, and other crude markings. To avoid these markings, treat your products with Sureshield®. Designed to resist fingerprints for the life of the product, Sureshield® makes your metal look cleaner for longer.

Ease of Cleaning
Do your customers complain about using expensive and difficult-to-handle specialty cleaners to remove dirt, oils, and other residue from your metal products? Sureshield® simplifies the cleaning process and saves your customers money, time, and aggravation. Sureshield® is simple to clean: just use mild soap and water. Expensive stainless steel, chrome, and other metal cleaners are no longer necessary to use on your products when they are treated with Sureshield. Switch to Sureshield® and provide your customers the long-term, measurable benefit of ease of cleaning.
