Microban International recently announced a new partnership with Classic Marble Company (CMC), a stone manufacturing company based in India. Microban antimicrobial technology will bring a new level of surface protection for CMC’s KalingaStone engineered marble, quartz and terrazzo surfaces, helping to prevent the growth of microbes for the lifetime of the products.

The collection brings sophistication to the market, offering an array of stylish and unique designs for various product lines, from quartz countertops to marble flooring. Microban antimicrobial technology is now being incorporated into the surfaces of these products during manufacture, becoming a permanent feature that does not wash off or wear away. The additive works to protect the material from microbial growth in between cleans, making it the ideal addition for hygiene-critical environments—such as commercial settings or hospitals—as well as frequently contaminated surfaces, including flooring and bathroom tiles in homes. This innovative antimicrobial technology will give users the reassurance of surface cleanliness, without hindering the quality or finish of the material, delivering a unique product that combines sophistication with practicality. 

Brian Gordon-Stables, EMEA account manager at Microban, said, “We are very pleased to be partnering with CMC to deliver a solution that is both functional and stylish. The broad product lines and applications of KalingaStone mean that Microban antimicrobial technology can be used to deliver superior surface protection in numerous commercial and domestic settings, providing users with all-important peace of mind.”
