Of the more prominent challenges facing the construction industry are those related to deterioration of material and structures by actions of microorganisms. The process is loosely known as Microbial Induced Corrosion (MIC), which belies an incredible range of processes occurring as a result of the growth of microorganism, principally bacteria, on our steel and concrete […]
Concrete & the Challenge of Microbial Induced Corrosion
Textiles are part of our everyday experience but little do we realize the amount of technology and application expertise that goes into providing their features and performance attributes, particularly formulating for the addition of antimicrobial performance.
Antimicrobial Textile Testing – Advanced Performance
Research into the microorganisms related to food born illness has taken a turn in the last few years. Vibrio vulnificus a formerly little known organism related to the bacteria causing cholera disease (Vibrio cholera) is now causing increasing concern associated with the consumption of raw or undercooked shellfish.
