In many cases, plastic materials need to resist attack by micro-organisms
of various types in order to function as intended.
Incorporation of antimicrobials in the polymer matrix will help formulators prevent
microbial growth and thus improve material value as the product will last longer, keep a clean appearance
and maintain hygiene at a high quality level.
In fact, micro-organisms defects can vary depending on the application, so the antimicrobial additive choice will depend on the specific part you are dealing with, and its environment.
By clicking on the images above, you will have more details on how to avoid micro-organisms defects on plastic.
