TITLE: Newly Introduced Advanced Non-Toxic Antimicrobial Master Batch for Thermoplastics

摘要

PolyFusion, LLC has recently introduced proprietary antimicrobial master batch formulations for thermoplastics. The custom formulations provide a homogeneous dispersion throughout the plastic matrix providing enhanced antimicrobial efficacy. The master batches are being marketed under the name of SafeTouch~R which remain effective against microbes for the usable life of the plastic product. The primary antimicrobial utilized in the master batch is a patented silanc antimicrobial trade named BIOSAFE~R HM 4100. SafeTouch/ HM 4100 represents the "next generation" of antimicrobials for the plastics industry. The master batch is differentiated by its fast mode of action evaluated on the ASTM, E2149:10 dynamic contact protocol having a (1-hr) test timeline. By comparison, ion exchange and phenol based antimicrobials are tested on a (24-hr) test timeline via a sterile cover slip test protocol.
