Market Trends and Opportunities
There is major, unmet need for highly active, long-term and non-soluble antimicrobial protection, in many industries. Currently there is no such technology on the market.
Customer Benefits
The available antimicrobial technologies are either short-term (soluble), toxic or inducing resistance. Long-term, non-toxic and highly effective protection is not yet available and is needed for many market and applications.
