Anti Bactierial Masterbatches
Specialized additives called anti-microbial masterbatches are intended to stop microorganisms like mold, fungus, and bacteria from growing on plastic surfaces. These masterbatches are used to shield polymers from microbial growth-induced deterioration and discolouration.
Applications
Anti-bactierial masterbatches are used in various plastic applications, including:
- Medical devices (e.g., catheters, wound dressings)
- Food packaging (e.g., containers, films)
- Consumer products (e.g., toothbrushes, cosmetics)
- Industrial applications (e.g., pipes, fittings)
- Agricultural applications (e.g., irrigation systems, greenhouse films)
Benefits
- Prevents microbial growth: Reduces the risk of biofilm formation and plastic degradation
- Maintains product integrity: Prevents discoloration, odor, and physical property changes
- Enhances product safety: Reduces the risk of microbial contamination and infection
- Compliance with regulations: Meets requirements for anti-microbial protection in various industries
