Benefits of Microbial Control Technologies
It has been well understood for many years that microscopic organisms are responsible for many diseases and infections. In today’s fast moving and globally mobile world, antimicrobial solutions help reduce and control outbreaks of diseases such as influenza, coronaviruses and Ebola, which could pose threats to our well-being if left untreated.
Microbial control technologies are the building blocks of a wide range of disinfectants and antimicrobial products. These include advanced antimicrobial coatings for germ-infested environments, such as hospitals and locker-rooms, as well as for softer cleaners used in soaps, home care detergents and dishwashing liquids.
