Antimicrobial Additives<\/small><\/h1>\n

An additive is an auxiliary substance that is added to products in small quantities in order to achieve or improve certain properties . In our case, these properties are antimicrobial<\/a> or auto-sterile\u00a0properties.\u00a0<\/small><\/p>\n

An important fact is, that with our technology, the auto-sterile or antimicrobial properties to not fade away with time and – very important, the antimicrobial effect is not caused by releasing biocides into the environment, but by a physical effect. Most additives available on the market have those two negative effect (fading performance, releasing biocides) – we, however play in a different league.\u00a0<\/small><\/p>\n

Where are antimicrobial additives applied?<\/small><\/h2>\n

The antimicrobial additives which we have developed, are essentially used in coatings\u00a0and plastics. Customers have the option to\u00a0add antiseptic properties to their parts or surfaces. The additive is added \u00a0directly at the manufacturer of the lacquer or paints. Plastics are compounded and then used\u00a0directly on the injection molding machine. <\/small><\/p>\n

With\u00a0coatings, we have experience with almost all popular systems, 1K, 2K, water-based\u00a0etc. With plastics we have used PA, PE, PP, PU, \u200b\u200bTPU, POM and silicone. Our antimicrobial additives are based on a polymer. Advantages over conventional antimicrobial additives such as nanoparticles, silver, silver derivatives are, in our opinion are obvious: <\/small><\/p>\n
