AgION Antimicrobial
Built-in Protection for
Your Phone
Motorola has incorporated AgION antimicrobial
into the painted surfaces of your phone to help
provide protection against a broad range of product
damaging bacteria, mold, and mildew.
Motorola is the first wireless phone manufacturer to
incorporate AgION antimicrobial into the phone's
painted surfaces.
The antimicrobial technology is an example of
Motorola's pursuit for innovation and creativity to
produce the best quality wireless experience.
The antimicrobial technology in the paint on
Motorola iDEN ® phones helps provide protection
against product damage caused by microbes, but
does not extend such protection to the user.
Versatile in application, the EPA-registered AgION
additive is recommended for institutional,
commercial and consumer applications. AgION
antimicrobials are used in many settings including
hospitals, offices, schools and food processing
facilities. They can also be found in leading
footwear, fabrics, appliances, water coolers and
architectural hardware.
