What is an antimicrobial masterbatch?

Additive masterbatch are frequently used in the plastics industry to improve the characteristics of molded components or to optimize processing. Following the COVID-19 pandemic, hygiene, and particularly effective methods to prevent the spread of dangerous bacteria, remains a global issue. An antimicrobial additive masterbatch is a popular and sensible solution for any brand or company looking to prevent hazardous bacteria from growing on the surface of plastic moldings.

NRJ Limited's antibacterial solution is based on silver ions, which have been recognized for centuries to have antimicrobial qualities. The active component is enclosed within a pelletized master batch. This allows plastic moulders to easily dose and distribute the additive evenly throughout their base polymer while manufacturing their components.
