Dow Corning Corporation is the largest supplier of silicone and silane chemicals in the world. They began a pure research program in the late 1960's aimed at determining if they could develop safe pesticides that would not migrate into the environment by leaching or volatilizing. The outcome would be safer, more efficient and effective pesticides.
A tremendous variety of chemicals were made and tested. These included all kinds of herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and bactericides. Out of this work came several patents and a focused effort on a particularly promising group of antimicrobials. This brought the most favorable of materials into the commercialization stages.
Commercialization of Dow Corning technology began in 1976 after receiving EPA registration under what was called “modern” standards of review.
The rapid demand for antimicrobial technology in the 90's pushed manufacturers to develop safer and more effective antimicrobials for broader applications and for specific industry uses. In 1995, Emory University embarked on a 4-year evaluation of the antimicrobials, re-engineering them using modern advancements in nanotechnology to make them safer and more effective. Today, this technology leads the industry in safety and effective applications.
The result is a family of nanotechnology, surface modifying antimicrobials that deliver safe, virtually non-toxic, permanent protection. This technology can be applied to finished products and services or incorporated into the manufacturing process, eliminating the negative concerns associated with mold, mildew, bacteria and fungi.
1. This EPA Registered antimicrobial technology has been used safely for over 29 years.
2. It is currently used by Nike, Reebok, New Balance, Rockport, Brillo Pads Franklin Sports, and others.
3. The antimicrobial technology is also commonly used in bottling, air filters, hospital drapes, hospital clothing, wound dressings, socks, baby mattresses, baby diapers and thousands of other products.
4. In fact, when our Nation needed mold remediation protection after the 9/11 attack, the United States turned to this technology to treat over 300 buildings surrounding Ground Zero.
EcoGuard Mold Solutions uses antimicrobial products that are EPA Registered and developed by Dow Chemical.
