How Shield3 works — the science of a barrier that doesn't wash away.

How It Works

A barrier that doesn't wash away — Shield3 bonds to the surface and stays between cleanings, shown on a locker-room handle as water rinses off but the bonded barrier remains.

Three things to understand: how the barrier works, the system it powers, and why we measure results in the field.

01 — The Science

A barrier that bonds and stays

Most surface products do their job while they're wet, then wash away with the very next cleaning — leaving nothing behind to protect the surface in between.

Shield3 works differently. Its surface layer bonds onto the surface and stays put, forming a persistent protective barrier that remains active between routine cleanings.

That's why we describe Shield3 as a barrier that complements your cleaning — not a replacement for it. You keep cleaning as you always have; the bonded barrier works in the gap between those cleanings.

How the bonded barrier works in three stages: during cleaning the surface is wet, after it dries a thin bonded film remains, and between cleanings the persistent bonded barrier stays active.

02 — The System

The three-layer system

One system that meets contamination where it travels — across surfaces, through stored air, and on gear.

The Shield3 three-layer system: Layer 1 Surface bonds a barrier to high-touch surfaces, Layer 2 Air treats the air inside enclosed storage like lockers and gear bags, and Layer 3 Gear carries protection into the wash and is in development.

SURFACE

Layer 01

A bonded barrier for high-touch surfaces — benches, handles, mats, lockers. It bonds on and keeps protecting after it dries, active between routine cleanings.

AIR

Layer 02

Treatment for the air inside enclosed storage — closed lockers, gear bags, and equipment rooms — where moisture and odor build up between uses.

GEAR

In development

Protection carried into the wash, reaching gear and uniforms. In active development — not yet a shipping product.

03 — Why We Test

ATP measurement

ATP testing measures bioburden — the amount of biological residue on a surface — reported in relative light units (RLU). It's a fast, standard way to gauge how clean a surface is.

In the field, we take an RLU reading before treatment and again after, on the same marked zones, to document the change in surface bioburden under real conditions.

We keep this field evidence separate from our laboratory validation, and we report ATP results as bioburden measurements — not as pathogen-specific kill claims.

ATP field measurement: a handheld luminometer swabs a marked surface zone, and a before-and-after comparison shows surface bioburden in RLU dropping after treatment. Illustrative.
