SterileTec mPale™ is based upon a proven, patented antimicrobial technology first developed by Dow Corning in the 1970s. We quickly realized that this technology was the key to a less invasive, longer-term solution to interior contamination. mPale® is EPA registered {EPA Reg. No. 83129-1) and extremely effective against mold, fungi, algae and most harmful bacteria. The beauty of this technology is that it controls microorganisms without chemical poisons. Instead, it relies on electrically charged particles that have a unique spiked molecular structure. In nature, most microbes carry the opposite electrical charge - so they are physically and irresistibly drawn into contact with mPale's pointed molecules. The physical contact punctures the cell walls of the offending microbes. These molecular spikes are undetectable to human touch, but more than a match for single-cell organisms. It is odorless and colorless, and dries within minutes of application. It is also non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and non-leaching. When properly applied, it protects against a wide spectrum of disease causing agents, and is able to survive chemical and mechanical stresses, including normal abrasion, sterilization, wet/dry cycles, freeze/thaw cycles alcohol rinses and more.
