The team used a non-pathogenic version of these tiny critters for this newly developed coating.
Limewash coating, which is commonly used to whitewash walls and ceilings, is made up of a variety of mixtures, including lime and water.The new coating creates a chain of self-repairing mechanisms to shield the surface, starting with microbes absorbing carbon dioxide via photosynthesis, explains the. As a result, an additional calcium carbonate barrier gets formed — acting as a buffer and protecting the surface from erosion.
The team is now working with the University's Zero Carbon Lab and a manufacturing company called U.K. Hempcrete Ltd to create a prototype. This winery is an ideal testbed as it is subjected to a combination of wind and rain, which damages the surface coating and reduces strength. As a result, it increases the surface repair process, which has a negative impact on the company's production, local tourism, and even the climate.This first-of-its-kind coating could be game-changing in many ways for the distillery, particularly for combating.
