MicroFight -Anti-microbial Solution for the Modern World
The COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically heightened global awareness of the pervasive threat of microbial contamination. As industries grappled with the challenges posed by harmful microbes, the demand for innovative anti-microbial solutions surged. Microbes are tiny organisms, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, and algae, that are present virtually everywhere. While some microbes play beneficial roles (e.g., in digestion or nutrient cycling), others are harmful. Understanding and controlling the detrimental ones is essential for safeguarding public health and ensuring product safety across various sectors. From healthcare facilities to food processing plants, the presence of unfriendly bacteria and other microorganisms can lead to serious consequences.
Pathogenic microbes, especially bacteria and fungi, feed on materials like plastics and polymers, leading to structural degradation, odour generation, and staining. It is hazardous to the durability and functionality of products.
By developing effective anti-microbial technologies, it is possible to mitigate these risks and create a safer, healthier world. NICHEM Solutions, one of the leaders in innovative anti-microbial technologies, has pioneered the Microsoft technology, including its key product, Micro Fight 014.
Harmful microbes can lead to serious health risks, especially in environments where hygiene is critical. Areas such as hospitals, food processing plants, water purification systems, and pharmaceutical industries need microbe-free air and surfaces to avoid infection and contamination.
MicroFight is versatile and finds applications across numerous sectors:
- Bottles, films, and containers
- Water purification units
- Water storage tanks
- Kitchen and bathroom appliances
- Shower curtains, bathmats, and toilet seats
- Packaging plastics
Anti-microbial technology uses agents or substances that inhibit the growth of or kill harmful microbes. By adding antimicrobial actives during manufacturing integration anti-microbial additives into materials, products are protected from microbial growth on surfaces. It leads to prolonging their lifespan and improving hygiene. Common anti-microbial agents include Silver, Copper, Triclosan, Mercury, Lead, etc and organic compounds, each with distinct properties. Among these agents, Silvers the most ancient and potent antimicrobial in use.
NICHEM Solutions is a leader in antimicrobial technology, specialising in Silver and Copper-based solutions. Their MicroFight range (MF 002, MF 003, MF 006, MF 012, MF 014, MF 017) offers innovative antimicrobial protection. These additives, combining organic and inorganic actives, including Silver and Copper, provide protection for desired periods.
MicroFight is designed for high efficacy, easy integration into polymers, and safety. These qualities make it ideal for various applications, such as food packaging, healthcare, consumer goods, and water purification. MicroFight’s exceptional antimicrobial properties are based on supported Silver and operate through Redox Potential Action.
Unlike traditional anti-microbial agents, MicroFight is non-toxic, eco-friendly, and free of heavy metals, making it a sustainable option for industries focused on safety and environmental protection. It is under US-EPA Registration which positions it as a strong contender in the international market, especially in the U.S., where stringent environmental standards apply.
How MicroFight is different from others
- Effective microbial restriction: Controls the growth of bacteria and fungi on surfaces.
- Pathogen-targeted protection: Primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria, which are common pathogens.
- Residual Protection: Ensures long-lasting efficacy after application.
- Material compatibility: Does not alter the properties of polymers, ensuring the product’s durability.
- Low-concentration efficacy: Functions effectively at minimal concentrations, making it cost-efficient.
- Non-toxic and eco-friendly: Free of harmful heavy metals, making it safe for consumers and the environment.
Anti-microbials are essential for industries seeking to improve product hygiene and lifespan. NICHEM’s MicroFight is an innovative technology offering long-term protection against harmful microbes. In this recognition, NICHEM received the Atmanirbhar Bharat Award in 2021. Developed during the COVID-19 pandemic, it provides industries with a reliable and sustainable solution to prevent microbial contamination. With EPA approval pending, MicroFight is set to impact the global market.
NICHEM is working on various anti-microbials at its Innovation Centre. The centre focuses on encouraging a culture of innovation, supporting internal R&D, and offering R&D services to other organisations in the industry. This facility made it possible to create the product even during the pandemic, ensuring timely solutions for industrial needs.
