Biodegradation
is the loss of physical properties, due to microbial attack, resulting
in conditions such as embrittlement, staining or delamination. Microbial
attack can be tough on your products…causing physical deterioration,
unpleasant appearance and odors, and undermine your customers’
satisfaction. Additionally, microbes can also increase safety risks
by making flooring and decking surfaces slippery.
