StaphylocoquesIndex. décimale : 667.9 Revêtements et enduits Résumé : Hygienic, water-based, non-toxic wall coatings can actively combat the deadly MRSA bug. The author explains how they work.
Considering that MRSA - the hospital 'superbug' - is now endemic in most UK hospitals, it's not surprising that the deadly bug is making the headlines on a regular basis. One Sunday newspaper has even launched a crusade calling on the Government to take urgent action to prevent MRSA, which has now won the backing of the Health Secretary, John Reid.
The bug, Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus, is defying almost everything that medical science has to offer, and appears to be gaining even more resistance to antibiotics. Antibiotics have gradually worked their way into the food chain and humans have built up a greater resistance to them, leading to thier over-prescription, with bigger doses, in the past two decades.
MRSA can be carried harmlessly on the skin and in the nose, but it is an insidious bacteria and once it enters the body, it is very difficult to kill. If allowed to enter the body via a wound, sore or intravenous device, MRSA can, at worst, cause the need for limb amputation or even death. The first MRSA epidemic occurred in the 1980's, when nine people died and more than 500 contracted the bug.
The statistics for MRSA nowadays are shocking and experts have called for the Health Service to get a grip on the crisis. Edward Leigh MP, Chairman of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee, says: "There is more the NHS could do to combat this problem. It must be addressed as a matter or urgency and should be allocated adequate resources."Note de contenu : - Statistics

Revêtements en phase aqueuse:Peinture en phase aqueuseIndex. décimale : 667.9 Revêtements et enduits Résumé : A company has introduced a new waterborne technology for exterior masonry paints. The authors explain how it works.
Hydro Pliolite is a new waterborne technology for exterior masonry paints. Based on innovative EBS (Emulsified Binding System) technology, it combines the advantages of water-borne paint formulation with outstanding adhesion, allowing application without primer.
Paints based on Hydro Pliolite resins have a deep matt texture and can be produced in a wide range of shades from delicate pastels to the deepest colours. They can be applied to all types of masonry surfaces, whether old or new. They are both porous and water-repellent, with the result that facades are not only decorated but also enjoy a lasting protection.
Exterior masonry or facade coatings represent one of the most dynamic and largest markets for paints in Europe. The first and easiest segmentation is made between solvent borne and water borne paints.
The former represents about 30% by volume of the market and is particulary strong in some countries (France, UK, Italy, Spain, Portugal ...). The key benefits being "the all-weather application and strong adhesion on mineral surfaces.
It is well known and accepted that film formation of solvent borne paints is less affected by climatic conditions (temperature and relative humidity), and that the minimum film formation temperature (MFFT) is very low(<-30°C). Last but not least, solvent borne paints are still widely used to prime difficult and chalky surfaces. They are the preferred choice for the renovation of old surfaces because of their ability to penetrate and bind porous substrates.
The waterborne offer can be divided between organic coatings (often described as latex or dispersion paints), organic silicone paints (siloxane paints), and mineral paints (silicate paints). In this article, we will focus only on the two first categories.Note de contenu : - Limitations of dispersion paints
