Q.E.P. Co. Inc. and Microban International have expanded their 15-year partnership to add antimicrobial technology to Q.E.P.’s Roberts Consolidated Industries adhesives.
All Roberts-manufactured adhesives in North America will be enhanced with Microban’s antimicrobial technology to provide protection from the growth of stain- and odor-causing microbes, including bacteria, molds and microorganisms, according to the companies.
“Every place we go—including our homes, offices, restaurants, and shops—has flooring that is secured by adhesives, making delivering effective and ongoing protection against microorganisms essential,” stated Michael Duchaine, executive VP of strategic planning & development at Q.E.P.
The expanded partnership was announced at the 2024 International Surface Event Jan. 23–26 in Las Vegas.
