The demand for antimicrobial plastics in industries such as healthcare, packaging, and consumer goods has led to a surge in innovations. Plastics like polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) are widely used due to their versatility. However, ensuring these materials maintain their original properties while incorporating antimicrobial functionality requires advanced solutions. HiVR’s nano platinum-based antimicrobial additives provide the perfect balance of compatibility, effectiveness, and durability.
Why Compatibility Matters for Antimicrobial Additives
To preserve the mechanical and aesthetic properties of plastics like PP, PE, and ABS, antimicrobial additives must integrate seamlessly. Incompatibility can lead to issues such as reduced strength, discoloration, or poor dispersion. HiVR’s Nano Cage technology ensures these problems are avoided while providing long-lasting antimicrobial protection.
