[nanoPost] Microbial inhibitors

Company USA

The company has devoted several years to demonstrating and developing an antimicrobial technology to defend against both disease causing and nuisance microorganisms.

The company's technology allows the synthesis of known antimicrobial agents such as Copper, Silver, Manganese, and Zinc with various support materials to create an innovative line of chemical media than can be used to purify water in large centralized treatment facilities, point-of-use (POU) devices, point-of-entry (POE) applications, and industrial process waters.

The microbial inhibitors are an ideal pretreatment to activated carbon filtration, membrane and ion exchange processes to prevent fouling and extend process life. They can be employed in a variety of fixed bed or filtration devices for aqueous and air applications.

The product line is designed to kill and control microorganisms from a host of aqueous solutions:

Drinking water
Swimming pools and spas
Medical and dental processes
Industrial process waters
Benefits of the technology include:
Imparts no odor or off-taste
Effective against wide range of microorganisms
Short contact times achieve high efficiency
Safe to handle and chemically stable
Applicable for use in many POU and POE devices
Effective for potable and non-potable water applications
Retains performance in high hardness waters
Requires no sophisticated controls, electricity or instrumentation to operate
Remains effective over broad pH and temperature range
Extractable metals are controlled to below drinking water standards
Mitigates regrowth of pathogenic bacteria in filters

Future applications for industrial antimicrobial market, including:

Sanitizers and disinfectants used in hospitals
Biocidal paints/coatings
Personal skin care
Blood purification
Infectious disease prevention
