Why Copper?
Copper has been used as an effective antimicrobial agent for centuries. In 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) named copper the first solid antimicrobial material.
Armor29™️ is first to combine the power of copper and the science of footwear into a high-performance outsole.
Armor29™ will keep your outsoles clean.
Our high-performance product can replace most outsoles on sneaker brands worn by healthcare workers and beyond.
Brands with an Armor29™ outsole will have support from our polymer scientist and access to laboratory testing, ensuring the highest standards in design and efficacy.
How copper works.
The antimicrobial properties of copper stem from its ability to disrupt the cell membranes and cause DNA damage to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi on contact.
Armor29™️ outsoles are designed to kill greater than 98% of pathogens on contact.
