The Biomaster range of silver based additives provides exceptional Antimicrobial performance, is thermally stable and available for all masterbatch carriers. The unique nature of Biomaster gives your polymer excellent bacterial protection from:
Healthcare Infections
Bacteria grow on almost any surface imaginable, many healthcare applications would benefit from having Biomaster treated door handles, soap dispensers, storage units, waste bins and bags. With Hospital Acquired Infections (HAI's) including occurring more every day, Biomaster is an easy, cost effective solution to protect patients and staff.
Food Related Bacteria
If left untreated harmful bacteria such as E.Coli and Salmonella can grow on surfaces within a matter of minutes. Chopping boards, serving utensils, food storage containers and other items that come into contact with food are all at risk of contamination. Biomaster prevents the growth of these bacteria within a durable, wash proof application.
Odour Control
Mal-odours associated with waste are produced by bacteria such as Pseudomonas thriving in the moisture layers of decomposing items. Treating items such nappy bins, bin liners and wheelie bins with Biomaster stops the growth of this bacteria, preventing mal-odours and the risk of infection from any other bacteria.
The Biomaster range has been tried and tested in each of the above polymers and systems are available for clear and opaque end applications.
We are also able to achieve a clear finish in engineering polymers such as SAN, PC and Transparent ABS.
The unique nature of Biomaster gives your polymer many benefits, including:
Anti-Wash - The Biomaster additives is applied to your final application through your normal polymer manufacturing process, and is an integral part of the end product. It will not wash off, and is expected to outlast the useful lifespan of the product.
Stability - Biomaster is a thermally stable additive, tested up to 600*c and is therefore suitable for all polymer applications, even PEEK.
Performance -Biomaster additives contain typically 10 times more silver than other Silver based antimicrobial systems and therefore are highly active at very low addition levels. The Silver ions are also released on demand and so defend against bacteria only in the event of a bacterial attack and will not "leach" out of the product. Due to the high concentration of Silver Biomaster is effective against bacteria, fungi, yeast and algae.
Biomaster has been tested against over 50 bacteria in over 2000 applications normally achieving a 99.99% reduction. Due to the efficacy of Biomaster only a very small addition level is required ensuring a very cost application.
