The Challenge

Why Antimicrobial Protection
Matters

Plastic surfaces are constantly exposed to moisture, warmth, and human contact
creating ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, and viruses. In hygiene
sensitive applications, uncontrolled microbial growth can lead to:

Health Risks

Bacterial contamination
poses serious health
hazards in sensitive
applications

Odor Formation

Microbial growth leads to
unpleasant odors affecting
product quality

Staining &
Degradation

Fungi and algae cause
permanent staining and
material breakdown

Reduced Product
Life

Uncontrolled growth
significantly shortens
product lifespan

Antimicrobial masterbatches address this challenge at the material level permanently.
