Microbial Control in Plastics: the key to safety and durability
Plastics, integral to numerous applications, face challenges from microbial growth. Antimicrobials offer a solution, ensuring plastics remain robust hence extending their service life.
Antimicrobials in plastics also play an important role in the home. They are key in protecting a variety of items, ranging from elastomeric roof membranes to kitchen mats, and even the seals found in appliances like washers, dryers, dishwashers, and refrigerators. By guarding against the growth of mould, mildew, algae, and bacteria, antimicrobials help maintain the structural integrity, efficiency, and lifespan of products. Consider for instance a compromised roof membrane and the damage to a home that could ensue, or a deteriorated refrigerator gasket and the food waste that would result.
By preserving plastic products and reducing the need for frequent replacements, microbial control presents itself as a cost-effective and sustainable solution for plastics.
Use biocides safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
