The Need for Antimicrobials
The ability to control microbial populations through direct surface modification techniques at any point during a products life offers tremendous opportunities to improve the overall health of our surroundings. Surfaces free of microbial contamination will reduce odors, will make our products last longer, will be easier to clean, and can assist in reducing infections. However, we must use sensible approaches when controlling these microbes. The antimicrobial agents that are used should control the microbes at the source of contamination, should limit the harmful release of chemicals into our ecosystems and should be produced and screened by responsible companies.
Generic v. Original Antimicrobials
Generic Versus Original Materials and Regulatory Compliance
The choice of antimicrobial agents has grown significantly over the past several years.
Many generic products are produced claiming to have an “identical” composition to
the original. It is critical to understand whether the composition of the antimicrobial
agent that is to used is the exact same as the original source in which the regulatory
data (US EPA, EU BPD) was been generated. Based on past studies it is apparent
that not all antimicrobial technologies that share the same USEPA files are the same.
