Antibacterial Master Batch | Anti Bacterial Additives | Anti Bacteria Compound for Plastics Hygiene
Antibacterial Masterbatches:
Description:- Our Antimicrobial Masterbatch is specially developed to inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the surface of plastic products, it protects the surface from staining and degradation caused by micro-organisms by suppressing the percentage of micro-organisms, and is a concentrated blend of pigments (silver etc) or additives that are encapsulated within a polymer carrier.
- Used to control the build up of bacteria and fungi on surface of the plastic products.
- Known as PE /PP / PS / PC / ABS masterbatch containing ZnO nanoparticles (average size of ZnO particles : around 30nm; concentration of ZnO: 7.84 Wt. %).In nano-scale,
- ZnO particles produce the reactive oxygen species more than ZnO bulk and so higher antibacterial activity appears in ZnO nanoparticles.
- 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. Nanoparticles of ZnO are being used industrially for modifications to plastics. A common feature is ZnO antibacterial activity. The antibacterial activity of ZnO has been demonstrated against human pathogenic bacteria, mainly E.Coli and S.aureus. In addition, ZnO is more environmentally friendly.
