Antimicrobial Masterbatch

What is Antimicrobial Masterbatch?

We produce high-performance antimicrobial systems that elevate hygiene standards to the highest level by preventing the growth of bacteria, fungi, and mold on plastic surfaces. Our formulations based on silver ion technology disrupt the cell walls of microorganisms, stopping their reproduction and providing long-term protection within the polymer matrix. Used in a wide range of applications from medical devices to food packaging, white goods, and kitchenware, our solutions are developed in accordance with international standards such as ISO 22196 and JIS Z 2801.

These series, prepared with advanced engineering techniques in our production facilities, offer broad-spectrum protection and permanent hygiene safety without altering the mechanical properties and visual quality of the final product.

Recommended Dosage

  • In general consumer goods and white goods applications: 1.0% - 2.0%
  • In food packaging and kitchenware: 1.5% - 2.5%
  • In medical devices and critical parts requiring high hygiene: 2.0% - 4.0%

Applications and Effects on the Final Product

Applications / Application Areas

  • Medical device parts, hospital equipment and laboratory consumables
  • Food storage containers, cutting boards, water dispensers and kitchenware
  • Home appliance interior components (refrigerator gaskets, washing machine/dishwasher parts)
  • Cleaning equipment, waste bins, brushes and plumbing pipes
  • Public transport handrails, school/office furniture and toys

Affected Properties / Effects on the Final Product

  • Resistance to bacteria and fungi: Prevents the growth of bacteria, mold, fungi and algae on the surface by up to 99.9%.
  • Lasting hygiene life: Is not lost through washing or wiping; provides active protection throughout the entire life of the product.
  • Odor and stain formation: Prevents bad odors caused by microorganisms and surface staining caused by biofilm.
  • Material life (resistance to biodegradation): Stops the plastic from becoming brittle and decaying prematurely due to microbial effects.
  • Color and transparency: With its special silver-ion or zinc-based formula, it does not impair the color or gloss of the product.

Effect on the Process and Production Line

  • Maintains its thermal stability at injection molding, extrusion and blow molding temperatures.
  • Does not cause corrosion or plate-out on the mold surface.
