Antibacterial Master Batch | Anti Bacterial Additives | Anti Bacteria Compound for Plastics Hygiene

Descriptions / Applications:

• Our Antimicrobial Masterbatch is specially developed to inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface of plastic products, and is a concentrated blend of pigments (silver etc) or additives that are encapsulated within a polymer carrier.
• Our Antimicrobial Masterbatches protect the surface from staining and degradation caused by micro-organisms by suppressing the percentage of micro-organisms.

1. Used to control the build up of bacteria and fungi on surface of the plastic products.
2. Known as PE / PP / PS / PC / ABS masterbatch containing ZnO nanoparticles in nano-scale (average size of ZnO particles : around 30nm; concentration of ZnO: 7.84 Wt. %).
3. ZnO particles produce the reactive oxygen species that are more than ZnO's bulk volume, and so is higher antibacterial activity appears in ZnO nanoparticles.
4. The most frequently used approach to prepare antibacterial plastics is to include various organic or inorganic substances, such as tea extract, chitosan, copper, silver, zinc, etc. in polymer matrices.
5. Nanoparticles of ZnO are being used industrially for modifications to plastics. A common feature is antibacterial activity of ZnO, which has been demonstrated against human pathogenic bacteria, mainly E.Coli and S.aureus. In addition, ZnO is more environmentally friendly.
6. Single component (Pure Silver)-contained Antimicrobial Masterbatch is available too.
