ANTIMICROBIAL

Providing protection for the lifetime of the product

d2p AM – A suite of masterbatches offering cost-effective protection against dangerous microbes on plastic products and other surfaces.

The active ingredient in our Antimicrobial Plastic Additive is an organic chemical substance, tested against bacteria (both Gram (+) and Gram (-) types), fungi (yeasts, moulds, mildew), and algae.

Latest Test Results

We have now received independent test results according to ISO 21702-19, which found a virus reduction of 99.9% in one hour

Why do we need d2p antimicrobial technology?

The microbial lifespan depends on many factors. Viruses must invade cells of a living host to replicate, while bacteria do not need a living host to replicate, but both bacteria and viruses can survive for several days on surfaces. Surfaces of almost any kind can therefore be a continuing source of infection.

It is now possible to make plastic surfaces lethal to microbes by including d2p antimicrobial masterbatch during the plastic manufacturing process.
