Antimicrobial Masterbatch
Controls bacteria, mold, and unpleasant odors in plastic products, improving product hygiene and extending service life.
Hygiene starts with the product itself.
Bacteria, mold, unpleasant odors, and infection risk are a significant concern in many plastic applications. Antimicrobial additives have been developed to control the growth of microorganisms in plastic products.
By preventing microbial growth in the micro-cracks that can form on polymer surfaces over time, they improve product hygiene and extend service life. This makes them a safe, long-lasting solution in areas where hygiene is critical, such as the healthcare, food, and construction sectors.
