Antimicrobial Protection That Works as Hard as Your Prints

In today’s world, signage is more than a visual communication tool, it’s part of the environment people interact with every day. Whether in a hospital hallway, a school cafeteria, or a retail checkout line, signs can become high-contact surfaces.

That’s where Mara®Ban CS from Marabu makes the difference. This antimicrobial additive works with ClearShield coatings to inhibit the growth of bacteria, helping ensure that printed graphics stay cleaner, longer, without sacrificing color vibrancy or durability.

Why Antimicrobial Protection Matters

Every surface we touch can be a transfer point for microbes. While regular cleaning helps, it’s not always enough, especially for surfaces that are constantly in use. Antimicrobial coatings add a critical extra layer of defense.

With Mara®Ban CS, your printed signage:

• Actively resists bacterial growth on the surface.

• Maintains visual clarity without discoloration or hazing.

• Reduces the need for harsh cleaning chemicals that can wear down prints over time.

Where This Protection Counts Most

Mara®Ban CS-enhanced prints are ideal for:

• Healthcare Facilities- Patient rooms, waiting areas, and nurse stations.

• Education Spaces -Classrooms, hallways, and shared equipment zones.

• Public Transportation- Bus interiors, subway platforms, and ticket kiosks.

• Fitness & Wellness Centers- Gym signage, locker rooms, and studio spaces.

• Retail & Grocery- Checkout areas, product displays, and refrigerator cases.

Built to Protect and Last

When combined with ClearShield liquid coatings, Mara®Ban CS not only delivers antimicrobial protection but also shields your graphics from UV fading, scratches and abrasions, and chemical damage from routine cleaning. The result? Graphics that look fresh, stay cleaner, and last longer, even in the most demanding environments.

How It Works

1. Print your design as usual.

2. Apply a ClearShield coating combined with Mara®Ban CS by brush, roller, or spray.

3. The surface is now fortified with antimicrobial properties- ready to handle the daily wear and tear of busy spaces.
