MARKET FOR MICROBE-RESISTANT PRODUCTS EXPANDING, SAFE ANTIMICROBIAL RUBBER ANSWERS IMPORTANT INDUSTRY NEEDS
MILAN – (May 7, 2003) – The world around us is teeming with microscopic organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and yeasts. In fact, scientists say that life as we know it would be impossible without microbes. Some microorganisms are highly beneficial to humans, helping us digest our food, decomposing our waste, and playing a key role in production of fermented foods like beer, wine, cheese, yogurt, vinegar, and seitan. However, other microbes can make us ill, cause ferrous metals to rust and food to spoil, or lead to stains and odors that can damage products and property. As a result, the demand for antimicrobial (AM) products is growing rapidly, with more than $1 billion (USD) now spent annually on biocides for items as diverse as food-processing conveyor belts, liquid soap, health and beauty aids, medical wound-care devices, catheters, and rubber mats.
