Antimicrobial technologies

Many key plastics consumer product makers are receiving a boost from antimicrobial technology which is being... 

With the bound antimicrobial technology though, a simple staining test can be performed in a matter of minutes at the mill or in a store to verify proper treatment of a fabric or other surface. This is a veiy important part of a quality assurance program that gives the manufacturer, the retailer, and the consumer confidence that a featire, normally invisible to the senses, can be seen and is actually on the product providing the protection for t hich they have paid. 

With an understanding of microbial pests and antimicrobial technologies, we can begin to fit solutions to problems. Medical fabrics are used in a vast array of endorses in tire healthcare community and have an unlimited number of untapped uses available. These woven, nonwoven, and composite fatnics can be greatly enhanced by the use of the proper... 

Adopting an antimicrobial technology with a proven history of use. This will help shorten the timelines in bringing noducts with an antibacterial/antifungal/odoF-reducing, antimicrobial feature to market... 

Adopting an antimicrobial technology that is adaptable across many utilities and stand up to use and abuse conditions through the life of the good. 

Adopting an antimicrobial technology that is registered with the EPA, the EU, BPD and other regulatory agencies for the specific product it is applied to. 

Adopting an antimicrobial technology that can be tested for proper application at die mill or at the retailers. A verifiable quality assurance program ould be a key component of any application process. 

Adopting an antimicrobial technology that has technical and marketing support. REFERENCES... 

Sanitized has continued to work in close co-operation with Clariant in developing antimicrobial technology, and Clariant has pmchased JMAC s silver biocide technology. 

An unusual use of additives with potential application in hospitals and other environments where cleanliness is paramount, is use of Microban antimicrobial technology. This is capable of killing various harmful bacteria including those responsible for methacillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Escherichia coli 0157 with independent tests showing a kill rate of 99% for these two...

The theoretical basis of light-induced antimicrobial treatment is described, followed by examples of its application for the cleaning and disinfection of surfaces. All available information supports the idea that PDT could offer a very efficient and cost-effective way to combat microbial contamination of foods. The advantages and pit-falls of the technique are discussed. Directions of future research needed for bringing the technology to commercial reality are identified.
