Claims No Added Antimicrobials

Chemical exclusion

The source claims no antimicrobial chemicals were intentionally added to the product — a health-positive claim, since added antimicrobials carry hazard concerns and limited proven benefit in buildings.

You might see it written as: antimicrobial free · no added antimicrobials · no antimicrobial treatment · biocide free

Speaks to: Human health

Low greenwash risk

Usually backed by verifiable documents.

Note the inversion: marketed antimicrobial *additives* are the red flag, not their absence.
