Product Description
Antimicrobial masterbatch is a concentrated mixture of antimicrobial agents, typically silver, copper, or zinc compounds, incorporated into a polymer base. This masterbatch inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, providing lasting protection to the material. The formulation combines antimicrobial agents with polymers like polyethylene or polypropylene, ensuring uniform dispersion during processing. Commonly used in industries such as packaging, healthcare, and textiles, it helps prevent contamination and extends product lifespan. The processing technique involves melt blending, ensuring the active agents are evenly distributed. Antimicrobial masterbatch benefits products by enhancing hygiene, durability, and safety in various applications.
