Antimicrobial Protection for Plastic

08 Sep.,2023

 

Antimicrobial protection for plastics

Available at low addition rates and offering powerful antimicrobial polymer product protection, Biomaster technology is suitable for almost all plastic and polymer materials.

Biomaster antimicrobial additives provide long-lasting and effective product protection against harmful bacteria, biofilm, fungi and mould for the lifetime of the end product without affecting its structural and physical qualities.

We’ll work closely with you to ensure that you get the right antimicrobial additive technology for your exact needs, taking into account the application of your end product, the type of material and your production process.

Antimicrobial additives for plastics and polymers 

Biomaster antimicrobial additives are suitable for almost all standard thermoplastics, engineering plastics and high-performance plastics, including Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and Polyvinyl chloride (PVC).  

Grades are also available for Polystyrene (PS), Polyethylene (PE), Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Polyurethane (PU) and Silicones, with technical data sheets and more information available in our downloads section here.

To make incorporating Biomaster even easier, we can provide antimicrobial masterbatches, liquids, compounds, powders and pellets depending on the method of manufacture for your product.

Antimicrobial technology for any production process

With expert technical knowledge of the polymer industry we’ll advise the best Biomaster grade and route of application for any production process should it be injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding or rotomoulding.

We’ll help you specify a bespoke solution to suit your end product’s exact requirements, without disrupting your production process or supply chain and avoiding any dullness in colours or cloudiness in clear plastics.

Our additives do not wear off or leach out over time, providing long-lasting and effective product protection from harmful microbes which can cause discolouration, odour and degradation.

How Biomaster Works

 

Biomaster can be added at any stage of the manufacturing process and is available in masterbatch, liquid or powder formulations for plastics, textiles, paper and coatings.

When bacteria come into contact with a Biomaster protected surface, the active antimicrobial agent prevents them from growing, producing energy or replicating, inhibiting any further growth.

The controlled release of the active ingredient provides powerful, effective antimicrobial protection for the lifetime of the product.

Independent testing and free of charge masterbatch samples

Highly effective at low addition rates, Biomaster has been tested in hundreds of applications to provide up to 99.99% reduction against harmful bacteria.

We can provide free-of-charge antimicrobial masterbatch samples for you to test or manufacture plaques of your chosen polymer incorporating a specified Biomaster masterbatch and test for you. 

All of our antimicrobial treated solutions are independently tested at a leading laboratory to ISO 22196 to ensure of a high quality efficacy against the microbes your product and end application requires.
