OVERVIEW  
®
The Microban® technology has been tested in  
independent laboratories and certified, thus  
making a significant contribution towards a  
healthier household.  
What is Microban ?  
Microban® is odourless, colourless and tasteless.  
Microban® inhibits the growth of micro-organ-  
isms by permeating the cell walls and destroy-  
ing the micro-organism cells. These cells are  
then no longer able to reproduce and growth is  
prohibited.  
HEPA filter  
HEPA stands for Highly Efficient Particulate Air.  
HEPA filters are highly efficient particulate air  
filters which trap over 99.9% of all airborne  
dust particles larger than 0.1 to 0.3 microme-  
tres. Viruses, respirable dust, dust mite larvae  
and deposits, pollen, smoke particles, asbestos,  
bacteria various toxic dust and aerosols are  
trapped in the filter.  
GRUNDIG offers an effective way to clean  
hygienically with the impressive technology  
from Microban®. The GRUNDIG dust filters  
and dust bags are equipped with the integrated  
Microban® hygiene protection.  
This even inhibits the spread of tiny microscopic  
particles including house mites, pollen and dust.  
Dangerous bacteria can barely survive with the  
integrated Microban® hygiene protection in the  
dust bags and filters.
