SANITIZED AG has launched a new generation of silver-based antimicrobial protective additives that deliver effective protection faster than ever before and at concentration loadings lower than previously possible. The new Sanitized® Silver products also offer best-yet transparency for applications requiring fast and broad protection against microbes.
The new silver-based antimicrobials are unique in the speed at which they become active in combination with low application concentrations; contributing factors to the additives’ excellent price/performance ratio. The patented technology of silver encapsulated in a glass ceramic material, in combination with a low particle size of the product, delivers one of the highest levels of transparency which, when used in coatings, means quality and aesthetics of the end-use application are not compromised. This technology is effective against a large number of bacteria and remains stable at temperatures up to 500°C—far beyond any organic active compounds. The new products are compatible with a wide range of polymers, in particular Polyolefins, Polystyrene and Polyurethanes, and work also in powder and liquid coatings. The new Sanitized® silver-based antimicrobials are ideally suited for applications in a wide range of dynamic and demanding industries and medical applications. Due to their process stability they fit perfectly as a masterbatch (MB) for molding processes.
This level of flexibility and robustness means that applications such as coatings on furniture and vinyl flooring as well as fibers for carpeting, bedding, mattress covers and pillow filling work easily well alongside cleaning aids such as brooms, mops and cloths.
