DEFLECT(A)ING BACTERIA

We are all aware of, have heard or read about the severe  impacts of bacteria, such as E.coli, Golden Staph, Listeria and  Salmonella, can have on our health. Environments particularly at  risk of these bacteria include the health, construction, agriculture and  food processing sectors.

What you may not know, however, is these bacteria also live underneath  our feet on concrete areas that we walk on every day (including  under floor coverings). This is where DEFLECTA® comes into play.  A wholly-owned Australian company, Deflecta supplies specialist  concrete protection products providing bacteria control, moisture  control, sealers, mould, mildew and fungi suppression, and densifiers.

The company’s high quality products can be found throughout Australia  across a range of industries. This includes hospitals, aged care and child  care, animal husbandry and agriculture, food processing/storage and  manufacturing, cool rooms and freezers, carparks, stairwells, loading docks and ramps, schools and sports centres. Deflecta products can be used anywhere moisture and bacterial control is a critical concern, with the company offering specialised expertise to work with customers to develop specific solutions for specific problems.

DEFLECTA® has invested heavily in research and development,  enabling it to produce a wide range of products manufactured in Australia for the local and overseas markets. This has resulted in a world first product, with technology developed in Australia, the company’s signature product DEFLECTA ANTIMICROBIAL®. A concrete bacterial control product, that produces a sanitised environment on the concrete surface, concrete matrix and cementitious based materials together with an internal moisture suppressant.

Suitable for all concrete areas requiring bacterial protection, DEFLECTA  ANTIMICROBIAL® is safe, non-toxic to humans and animals and environmentally friendly. When sprayed onto a clean concrete surface within minutes the biocide activates, killing bacteria and other pathogens.

After 24 hours of application, the product kills 99.99%  of bacteria such as E.coli, Golden Staph, Listeria and Salmonella. Active for over five years, DEFLECTA ANTIMICROBIAL® also provides internal moisture protection and is particularly beneficial in industries where bacteria on or within concrete is a major concern or threat, to areas such as hospitals, agriculture, aged and child care facilities, sporting facilities, food processing/manufacturing, animal husbandry, equine facilities, water and sewerage sectors,  and cattery and dog kennels.

In addition to DEFLECTA ANTIMICROBIAL®, DEFELCTA  TOPEL® provides a hydrophobic surface sealer, which is a treatment that increases both the density and surface hardness of the concrete. The product increases wear and slip resistance of concrete in areas such as warehouses, carparks, stairs/landings, driveways, paving and ramps.

Similar to DEFLECTA ANTIMICROBIAL®, DEFELCTA TOPEL®  is easy to spray or roll onto a concrete surface. The product is also safe, non-toxic and environmentally friendly. DEFELCTA TOPEL® prevents surface dusting, increases abrasion resistance and durability and helps maintain the appearance of a concrete slab overtime with wear.
