Plastic products are attacked by different types of microbes like mould fungi, mildew fungi, algae, yeasts etc. The microbial action can cause discoloration, unpleasant odours and polymer degradation in untreated plastic articles. Anti fungal additive masterbatch and anti algae additive masterbatch options are widely used in such cases to combat microbial growth on plastic surfaces.
Antimicrobial additives can be incorporated through the masterbatch route during processing and provide a biocide treatment to control microbes. Anti bacterial masterbatch solutions are especially effective in maintaining surface hygiene over time. Antimicrobial masterbatches protect the surface of plastic from staining and degradation caused by micro-organisms. Most of the Antimicrobial masterbatches are based on Nano-silver technology gives very long-term protection and keep the product hygiene. For industries where microbial contamination and static build-up both pose issues, manufacturers often combine antimicrobial solutions with antistatic masterbatch to achieve dual protection during storage and transportation. These silver-based anti bacterial masterbatch formulations interfere with the reproduction cycle of microbes, making them highly effective even in minimal concentrations. The selection of the antimicrobial is done based on the product thickness and heat stability requirements. As validated by top plastic raw material company solutions, choosing the right polymer-compatible anti algae additive masterbatch ensures performance across varied temperature and humidity conditions. Antimicrobial masterbatches based on various polymers like PE ,PP, Acrylic, Nylon, PET , Polycarbonate etc. are available in AddKan range.
There are three significant grades of Antimicrobial Masterbatches available from AddKan, depending on the applications, those are:
These Masterbatches are based on silver ion antimicrobial additive.
The Antimicrobial Masterbatches comprise around 5% of the active antimicrobial additive content. It will interfere with the cell metabolism of the microbe and will prevent it from reproducing. So, the products, which came from the AddKan houses, will remain free from germs, hygienic, and also fresh. This kind of item is perfect for food-grade applications too. In sectors like food packaging and medical disposables, the use of antimicrobial solutions along with antistatic masterbatch can enhance overall product safety and performance during handling and storage.
Anti fungal additive masterbatch grades in this series are ideal for humid environments, while anti algae additive masterbatch variations are tailored for outdoor or water-contact applications.

Absolutely. When used in the correct formulation, anti bacterial masterbatch options are food-grade compliant and safe for use in packaging, containers, and hygiene-sensitive applications.
Yes, antimicrobial masterbatches can be used alongside additives like antistatic masterbatch or UV stabilizers, depending on the application and performance requirements.
