Antimicrobial protection products contain antimicrobial additives for plastics. These additives are integrated into the material during the production process to provide permanent protection from germs and bacteria. Each additive contains a specific antimicrobial active substance such as silver. This active ingredient is incorporated as a concentrated powder, liquid suspension or pellet, depending on the type of plastic, the manufacturing process applied and the desired end-use of the product.
Antimicrobial additives produced by manufacturers in a wide range and easily applied to all types of plastics and polymers include: acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, ethylene vinyl acetate, high-impact polystyrene, polyethylene, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, polycarbonate, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) , silicone and thermoplastic polyurethane. These antimicrobial compounds provide up to 99,99 percent permanent and effective protection against harmful bacteria, mold, fungi and viruses, and minimize the risks of staining, foul odor and material deterioration.
For example, silver ion antimicrobial additives do not leak from the surface after they are added to the plastic, do not cause discoloration or affect the clarity of the plastic. In addition, antimicrobial plastic additives last for the expected life of the product.
High quality actives at low addition rates not only show superior antimicrobial performance against various microbes, but also have a long functional life that does not spoil the product.
In the test, analysis, measurement and evaluation studies carried out in our organization, national and international standards and applicable legal regulations are complied with and reliable and impartial results are obtained. In this context, there are also antibacterial plastic product analysis services among the numerous tests.
