    SportCoatings, a division of the Coatings Specialist Group (CSG), introduces a break-through Sports Antimicrobial System (SAS) — a trio of products that combat microbial contamination and odor on sports surfaces. The AEGIS Microbe Shield� treatment powering SAS creates a long-lasting antimicrobial layer effective against a broad spectrum of all known bacteria, mold, fungi and algae.

"Athletic facilities have always combated issues of microbial growth on sports surfaces — from the famous ‘locker room smell’ caused by bacteria, to the fungus that causes ring worm and worse," said Art McWood, President CSG.

According to the March 5th Mercury News article "Sports Scourge" about Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in sports facilities, "Public health officials say that locker rooms and fields of play have become havens for the resourceful bacterium, which can be transmitted by physical contact and the sharing of such items as sports equipment, towels, razors and bars of soap."
