which reduces the proliferation of harmful microbes (*)
such as batteries and mould prone to causing stains,
unpleasant odours and product deterioration.
(*) According to tests performed by the University of Perugia,
Italy on: Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coll, Pseudomonas
aeruginosa, Candida albicans, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium digitatum.
In rare cases an allergic reaction may be caused by prolonged contact between
seal and skin.
