"Legionella" refers to bacteria that inhabit rivers, lakes, hot springs, and soil, and can cause Legionnaires' disease upon infection. Approximately 60 species are known to date, among which Legionella pneumophila is considered one of the representative species that causes Legionella pneumonia. [Legionella Bacteria Disinfection Test Using Mekacera Water] ■ Method (1): Effect of Residual Chlorine Concentration on L.p.1 It is said that Legionella bacteria die within 15 minutes at a residual chlorine concentration of 0.4 ppm, so first, we investigated how much the residual chlorine concentration affects Legionella bacteria. ■ Method (2): Effect of Mekacera Water on L.p.1 It was considered that a residual chlorine concentration below 0.2 ppm would not significantly affect the number of Legionella bacteria, so tests were conducted within the range of 0.2 ppm or lower. ★ Results ★ As a result, when Mekacera balls were applied in the presence of residual chlorine at 0.1 ppm to 0.2 ppm, the number of Legionella bacteria gradually decreased, and no viable bacteria were detected after 24 hours! * You can experience the actual effect with a demo unit. * For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

The device, which demonstrates its effectiveness particularly in food-related industries such as oil and fat, meat, and prepared food factories, produces hypochlorous acid (HCLO), which has strong oxidative power, by combining a chlorine drip device with a Mecha-Cera device. When city water or well water treated with chlorine passes through the Mecha-Cera device with ferrite-based ceramic catalysts, it generates hypochlorous acid. By stirring the wastewater tank, oxidation and interfacial action of oil components occur in the wastewater, reducing the oil content and bringing the normal hexane extractable substances down to below 10%. Nitrogen and phosphorus are also removed, and sludge is reduced, eliminating the cumbersome tasks of conventional coagulation and sludge dewatering, thus simplifying the work process. Since it can be integrated into existing wastewater and pollution control facilities, significant cost reductions are possible. **Features** - Generates hypochlorous acid (HCLO) with strong oxidative power - Reduces normal hexane extractable substances to below 10% - Removes nitrogen and phosphorus, and reduces sludge - Eliminates cumbersome tasks, simplifying work processes - Easily integrates into existing wastewater and pollution control facilities *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.*

Kaimu paint is a non-combustible silicate paint that penetrates mineral-based substrates (such as concrete, brick, plaster, and mortar) through "water glass," triggering a chemical reaction that "integrates" with the substrate. This process allows the unique texture of the substrate to be preserved while providing a rich array of colors and strong resistance to UV rays, pollutants, and the growth of mold and moss. Kaimu Soldalit is a new generation of silicate paint specifically designed for exterior walls, enabling a variety of previously unknown coatings. Thanks to the unique characteristics of Kaimu paint mentioned above, it results in a colorfast, ultra-long-lasting painted surface.

• paint

Kaimu paint allows "water glass" to penetrate the substrate and undergo a chemical reaction to achieve "integration," enhancing the unique texture of the substrate while providing a rich palette of over 200 colors. It imparts strong resistance to ultraviolet rays, pollutants, and the growth of mold and moss. By applying a clear color finish, especially on concrete (also applicable to brick, plaster, mortar, etc.), it protects the concrete from weathering and prevents erosion from intense external air pollutants. The surface of the concrete retains the feel of the formwork boards completely. The concrete surface will have a mineral matte finish. By using a dedicated thinner (Kaimu Concretal Fixative or Kaimu Concretal Base AP), a light color finish can be achieved with various dilution rates. Additionally, visual defects such as dirt and color tone differences can be offset. Kaimu Concretal Raswa can finish interior exposed concrete walls and exterior concrete surfaces in light colors that preserve the original texture.
