AO is calling it "OutStand" technology, which is a...
...patent-pending glaze technique that provides tile with unparalleled surface wear and stain resistance while infusing the tile with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology (Microban), which provides a permanent layer of protection from stain- and odor-causing bacteria. Dal-Tile Corp. has been awarded the exclusive rights in North America to manufacture tiles with Microban.
Tile Matters sees this glaze as having some very interesting applications for a variety of market segments, particularly healthcare and education. It seems like they are both in need of surfaces that inhibit microbial growth.
There is an interesting video AO has put on their website...click here to watch.
The full data sheet can be seen here.
Definitely something to keep an eye on as this special glaze is used in other product lines...Tile Matters will keep you updated.
