| Old Paradigm | New Paradigm |
|---|---|
| Treat the surface of concrete with disinfectants. (But the disinfectants do not penetrate concrete and thus do not reach the pathogens deep within.) Retreat the surface of the concrete again each and every day, and then hope those microbes that will inevitably reemerge from the concrete do not trigger a catastrophic contamination. | Treat infected concrete with NORGANIX to kill Salmonella, Listeria, E.coli and many other pathogens that reside deep within the concrete AND also to seal the capillary system shut to prevent future water ingress and spore re-germination. |
| Spend a small fortune putting an acrylic, urethane or tile flooring system down on top of the concrete in hopes of blocking the microbes and moisture. | Concrete sealed with NORGANIX does not need to be covered with expensive flooring, unless you want to spend a lot of money for something that looks pretty. With NORGANIX, concrete surfaces alone are back in play as a viable option. |

Ten Things You Need to Know
- Concrete is porous with millions of microscopic pathways into and through the material.
- Moisture and gasses permeate through these open capillaries.
- Microbes can enter concrete and penetrate deep within these capillaries, too.
- Disinfectants cannot penetrate concrete, and will not reach the microbes deep within.
- Colonies of microbes thrive deep within concrete and can double in size in 20 minutes.
- Salmonella and Listeria will eventually resurface and recontaminate your facility.
- NORGANIX antimicrobial penetrates fully 8 inches into concrete to kill hidden microbes.
- NORGANIX hydrates unused Portland within concrete to seal concrete shut, permanently.
- Microbes cannot reenter concrete treated with NORGANIX.
- No other product does all this.
