Autotex AM
Autotex® AM is a unique hardcoated film incorporating Microban® antimicrobial protection. The Microban® technology is incorporated into the Autotex® AM textured hard coat during the manufacturing process. This ensures even distribution of Microban® technology throughout the textured hard coat and the film surface. The technology works 24/7 to inhibit the growth by surface contamination on the treated surface. The result is a film that stays hygienically cleaner and fresher for longer. Autotex® AM is part of the Autotex® film range.
