What is a Nanotube?

Nanotubes are, by definition, are carbon molecules in the shape of a tube having a fullerene structure and a diameter of 1 to 2 nanometers. A fullerene structure is further defined as any class of allotropes of carbon having hollow molecules. Now let’s figure out what 1 to 2 nanometers are since the nanotubes are that thickness?

To give you and idea, a nanometer is roughly 1 billionth of a meter. In todays world of budget deficits of billions and trillions those words are sometimes said so often they lose their effectiveness. I decided to research how long it would take you to count to 1 billion with each number taking 1 second to count. Counting non-stop, with that 1 second/number rule it would take you 31 years, 251 days, 7 hours, 46 minutes, and 39 seconds to count to 1 billion. If you have some spare time you might want to try this:)

In all seriousness, you can now understand the size values involved in the nanotubes and hopefully it gives you some perspective.

What Is Antimicrobial Technology ?

Antimicrobial Technology describes the collective knowledge, expertise and methods of using additives to create products that are permanently protected against microbes.

What does antimicrobial mean?
Antimicrobial is used to describe substances which demonstrate the ability to reduce the presence of microbes, such as bacteria and mould.

What types of antimicrobial are there?
Many substances can be described as antimicrobial; such as disinfectants, antibiotics and of course Antimicrobial Additives.

Antibacterial Technology is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including E. coli, MRSA, SalmonellaCampylobacter and Listeria.

Introduced into a surface at the stage of manufacture, our antibacterial additives will encompass a specific active and can be formulated into a concentrated powder, liquid suspension or masterbatch pellet depending on the target material and manufacturing process.
