|---|---|---|
| Eliminates 99.9% of Salmonella, Listeria, MRSA, Legionella and other pathogens DEEP WITHIN concrete | ||
| Eliminates 99.9% of Bacillus, Clostridium, mold, mildew, & other spore-forming microbes DEEP WITHIN concrete | ||
| Absorbs 8-inches into concrete for true "integral" waterproofing (others products penetrate 3½ inches at best) | ||
| Hydrates unused Portland to close down capillaries to seal out moisture, vapors, pathogens and contaminants | ||
| Improves compressive and flexural strength of concrete by 30% to minimize cracking and hazardous dusting | ||
| Permanently halts internal water migration and prevents contaminant ingress from any direction | ||
| Virtually eliminates permeation and transmission of hazardous gasses such as radon and methane | ||
| Reduces leaching and efflorescence, eliminates bleed water, resists etching and discoloration from acids | ||
| Improves thermal resistance (R-factor increases up to 20 percent) and thereby reduces energy costs | ||

Biosecurity in the Food Industry
Old Paradigm for Biosecurity in the Food Industry
You can treat the surface of concrete with disinfectants, and that basic biosecurity procedure must be done on a regular basis. However, the traditional disinfectants that are applied to the surface of the concrete do not penetrate the open capillaries of the concrete, and thus will not reach the pathogens that lurk deep within. You can retreat the surface of the concrete again every day, and although you will eliminate those microbes on the surface of the concrete, you cannot reach the microbes deep within. You can only hope that these surviving microbes do not resurface to trigger a catastrophic re-contamination when they escape from the concrete interior. The probability is high that they absolutely will. Good luck with this uncertain approach!
Alternatively, you could choose to spend a small fortune putting an acrylic or urethane flooring system down on top of your concrete in hopes of blocking the microbes and moisture. But these topical coatings often crack under the weight of heavy equipment. Moreover, they will wear down in time, ultimately re-exposing the concrete below. Worse yet, these costly topical coatings are extremely expensive to repair.
Conclusion: The old paradigm DOES NOT WORK!
New Paradigm for Biosecurity in the Food Industry
We recommend that you treat infected concrete with the two-step NORGANIX process: First, as NORGANIX penetrates the concrete it will kill Salmonella, Listeria, E.coli and many other pathogens that reside on the surface and deep within. Second, NORGANIX will trigger a chemical reaction with the unhydrated Portland that remains present in all concrete. This unhydrated Portland will become new cement—it will expand rapidly and seal the capillary system shut, thereby preventing future microbial reentry into the concrete or re-emergence from within—permanently. The formerly open capillaries are now forever closed to any microbial traffic.
Concrete sealed with NORGANIX does not need to be covered with expensive flooring, unless you choose to spend a lot of money for something superficially pretty. With NORGANIX, concrete surfaces alone are back in play as a viable option to protect against microbial contamination.
Conclusion: The new paradigm WORKS!
Biosecurity in Mold Remediation
Old Paradigm for Biosecurity in Residential Mold Remediation
Traditional mold remediators will likely treat the surface of your mold-infected concrete with disinfectants. But the disinfectants that are applied to the surface of your slab, or foundation, do not penetrate concrete and thus will not reach the mold spores that are waiting deep within the concrete.
These traditional mold remediators will then attempt to dry the surface of concrete with large fans and air movers, typically for weeks. The intent of this process is to reduce the humidity in the concrete, putting the mold spores into a dormant state. But desiccation does not kill mold spores, it only puts them to sleep. Unfortunately, this drying procedure does nothing to prevent moisture from reawakening the mold, returning it to the concrete from within. Porous concrete behaves like a sponge and will invariably draw water in, wicking it from below. This water reactivates the mold, and your home will be re-contaminated.
Conclusion: This old paradigm simply DOES NOT WORK!
New Paradigm for Biosecurity in Residential Mold Remediation
We recommend that your mold remediators treat infected concrete with NORGANIX to kill the mold spores that reside deep within the concrete, and also to seal the open capillary system shut to prevent future water ingress and spore re-germination.
Further, NORGANIX dries concrete too, and does so immediately through its powerful purging effect. As NORGANIX hydrates unused Portland, moisture is literally forced out as the molecules of Portland are hydrated and expand in size. Once treated, the capillary system will then be permanently closed and neither mold nor moisture can ever again permeate into your concrete, either from above or below.
Conclusion: This new paradigm WORKS!
