How Antimicrobial Active Ingredients Work
HIVR’s antimicrobial additives effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms, fundamentally protecting polymer surfaces and creating a sterile environment to ensure plastic products are more hygienic and durable.
Antimicrobial Coating vs. Antibacterial Agents
Antibacterial agents are widely used in various products and effectively combat numerous harmful bacteria, often containing multiple active ingredients. In contrast, antimicrobial coatings or agents aim to reduce bacteria, spores, and fungi. However, unlike antibacterial agents, antimicrobial coatings do not provide long-term protection as their effectiveness diminishes over time. Antibacterial agents offer a more reliable and lasting defense, making them particularly suitable for hygiene-sensitive environments such as schools, hospitals, and commercial spaces.
HIVR’s Antimicrobial Masterbatch Solutions
As one of China’s leading masterbatch manufacturers, HIVR has recognized the growing demand for antimicrobial masterbatch solutions. Our antimicrobial masterbatches incorporate Nano Platinum Cage technology, a scientifically proven antimicrobial solution. Nano Platinum Cage and bio-controlling compounds actively disrupt the vital life processes and biological functions of bacteria, preventing their reproduction on treated surfaces, leading to their eventual demise.
Our antimicrobial masterbatch products can be used to manufacture everyday plastic items such as water tanks, food packaging materials, and toys, enhancing hygiene and durability.
Benefits of Antimicrobial Additives
The use of antimicrobial additives in packaging and consumer goods is increasing rapidly, with demand expected to surge in the coming years due to their significant advantages.
Antimicrobial Plastics are More Durable
Studies have demonstrated that antimicrobial additives extend the functional lifespan of plastic. These additives minimize bacterial presence, which can accelerate plastic degradation, ensuring long-term performance.
Enhanced Hygiene for Plastic Products
For manufacturers producing reusable plastic products, such as eco-friendly cups, antimicrobial additives are an excellent choice. These additives help reduce the presence of potentially harmful bacteria, promoting better hygiene.
Long-lasting Antimicrobial Protection
By integrating antimicrobial additives during the manufacturing process, plastic products gain antibacterial, anti-mold, and antiviral properties that last throughout their expected lifetime. Whether used in water bottles, baby toys, or piping systems, antimicrobial plastics will remain hygienic for years.
Increasing Demand for Antimicrobial Plastics
With antimicrobial plastics becoming more prevalent in packaging and consumer goods, their market demand is anticipated to rise significantly. Additionally, there is a growing need for antimicrobial plastics to replace traditional materials in medical equipment to meet strict hygiene standards.
