Abstract

The electrochemical behavior of AISI 304 stainless steel used as material of biotechnological equipment, in a simulated study on singular effect of ActiSEPT, a biocide consisting in sodium dichloroisocyanurate and synergic effect of ActiSEPT and two fungal suspensions of Aspergillus niger and Geotrichum candidum were investigated by linear polarization of metallic surface. This aspect plays an important role in the stainless steel surface corrosion with implications in the bioproduct quality and influences the safety of life..
