HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., Nov. 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Microban International, Ltd., the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, is pleased to announce their exclusive North America partnership with Dal-Tile Corp., the largest U.S. manufacturer and distributor of ceramic tile and natural stone. Dal-Tile Corp is launching two new lines of ceramic tile with OutStand Technology(TM) featuring Microban(®) patent pending silver based technology, in order to create a line of ceramic tile that will stay cleaner for longer than ever before.

On an unprotected surface, microbes can double in number every 20 minutes! Microban antimicrobial protection works continuously to fight the growth of stain causing bacteria, keeping Dal-Tile ceramic tile cleaner between cleanings. And, because Microban silver technology is infused into the ceramic tile glaze during the manufacturing process, it won't wash off or wear away, providing an additional layer of durable, long lasting protection.

"We are very excited to partner with Dal-Tile Corp on this new and innovative line of ceramic tile which addresses concerns about the growth of bacteria in different public space environments," says David Meyers, President and CEO of Microban International.

Dal-Tile Corp. has unveiled two new product collections under the Daltile and American Olean brands which are the first to be manufactured with OutStand Technology. For more information on these new product collections please visit www.daltile.com/outstand.
