Infrastructure
In the world of construction and infrastructure, mould, mildew, and microbial growth are more than just aesthetic concerns – they pose serious risks to the longevity and safety of buildings. AEGIS Microbe Shield® is an advanced, long-lasting antimicrobial technology designed to prevent the growth of microbes such as mould, mildew, and bacteria on a wide range of building materials, ensuring the integrity and cleanliness of your infrastructure.
Why AEGIS® is the Best Choice for Infrastructure
Permanent Protection: Unlike traditional antimicrobials, AEGIS® bonds permanently to building materials. It is not consumed by microbes, ensuring that it continues to work for the life of the material, even after repeated cleaning and exposure to environmental conditions.
Non-toxic and Safe: AEGIS® technology does not leach harmful chemicals into the environment. It is safe for humans, making it ideal for use in all types of infrastructure, from residential homes to commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
Broad-Spectrum Effectiveness: AEGIS® provides protection against a wide range of harmful microorganisms, including mould, mildew, fungi, and bacteria, which can cause significant damage to building materials and indoor air quality.
Easy Integration: AEGIS® can be easily incorporated into existing manufacturing processes for a variety of building products, such as composite decking, roofing materials, OSB, dimensional lumber, and drywall. Its performance can be verified with a simple and quick on-site test.
The Problem: Microbial Growth in Infrastructure
Water and moisture are key contributors to microbial growth in building materials. Every element of the construction process, from framing to roofing, offers an opportunity for mould and mildew to thrive. If not controlled, these microbes can lead to:
Staining and deterioration: Microbial growth can cause unsightly stains and surface damage, which degrade the appearance and functionality of building materials.
Health risks: Mould and mildew are associated with allergic reactions, respiratory issues, and other health problems. Proper microbial control is essential to ensure the well-being of building occupants.
The Solution: AEGIS Microbe Shield®
AEGIS® Microbe Shield technology is the most effective solution for preventing microbial contamination in construction materials. It works by physically disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, rendering them inactive and preventing further growth. Unlike traditional antimicrobial treatments, AEGIS® does not create an environment that encourages microbial adaptation or resistance, making it a reliable and long-lasting choice for infrastructure protection.
Key Applications in Infrastructure:
- Roofing Materials: AEGIS® prevents algae and fungal growth on roofing shingles, extending their lifespan and maintaining their appearance.
- Composite Decking and OSB: Treated with AEGIS®, these materials resist fungal growth and moisture damage, enhancing durability and performance.
- Dimensional Lumber: AEGIS® treatment helps prevent mould and mildew on lumber, ensuring it remains strong and clean during and after installation.
- Drywall: Protects against the damaging effects of moisture, ensuring drywall stays intact without mould or mildew.
Benefits for Builders and Homeowners
- Increased Profitability: AEGIS® helps reduce the risk of mould-related claims and costly repairs, leading to higher customer satisfaction and increased profits for builders.
- Durable, Long-Lasting Protection: Once applied, AEGIS® provides ongoing protection, reducing the need for frequent reapplications and ensuring that your building materials remain protected for the long term.
- Regulatory Compliance: AEGIS® is registered with the EPA and complies with international regulations, making it a safe and reliable choice for infrastructure projects worldwide.
Conclusion: The Smart Choice for Infrastructure
AEGIS Microbe Shield® offers the most effective, long-lasting antimicrobial protection available for infrastructure projects. By preventing microbial growth, it helps protect building materials from damage, reduces health risks, and ensures the longevity of your structures.
