The insect repelling recycled fire log is a manufactured fuel product that is configured for use as a fuel in a recreational combustion activity such as a bonfire or a campfire. The insect repelling recycled fire log releases an insect repellent that encourages insects to move away from the immediate areas surrounding the recreational combustion activity area during the said activities. The natural insect repellent is an airborne repellent that is released by the combustion of the insect repelling recycled fire log. The insect repelling recycled fire log comprises a fuel, an accelerant, and an ignition apparatus.

Disclosed herein are compositions to use in biofouling-resistant coatings, biofouling-resistant coatings, methods of making biofouling-resistant coatings, biofouling-resistant devices, and methods of making biofouling-resistant devices.

Disclosed herein are compositions useful for coating medical devices which have antimicrobial (anti-infective) qualities and which are simple to manufacture and cost-effective, and therefore suitable for global use, including in developing countries with economic constraints, and in a cost-conscious healthcare environment. In one embodiment, disclosed are formulations that include chlorhexidine (CHX), curcumin (CUR), for example, curcumin C3 complex, and a silver (Ag) salt. Other embodiments pertain to compositions that include CHX, Ag and a lubricating agent. The antimicrobial coatings made according to embodiments of the invention are easier to produce, have superior efficacy and devices coated with this composition show initial release of antimicrobials and prolonged prevention of bacterial adherence, compared to currently available alternatives, to significantly reduce device-related infection especially catheter associated urinary tract infection.

An agricultural energising biostimulating composition made from sucrose, protein/hydrolised protein, and humic acid. The composition is aimed at solving the energy deficit that is affecting the production of fruit and vegetables in the agriculture industry. Plants do not obtain the energy they need for their development, which affects the quality and quantity of the fruit produced.

Disclosed herein are compositions to use in biofouling-resistant coatings, biofouling-resistant coatings, methods of making biofouling-resistant coatings, biofouling-resistant devices, and methods of making biofouling-resistant devices.
