Masterbatches for Diverse Applications
Tosaf’s recently introduced antimicrobial solutions are tailored for diverse applications, including PE, PP, BOPP films, polyolefins, and more, which are given below:
Unique Masterbatches for Disposable Products
These newly developed proprietary antimicrobial and antiviral masterbatches are designed specifically for single-use products like PE films for flexible packaging, PP non-woven fabric maps, and BOPP films. These transparent additives offer rapid activation and excellent cost-effectiveness.
Antibacterial Masterbatches Based on Silver Ions
Silver-ion-based masterbatches are approved for food contact and comply with global regulations. They withstand extreme temperatures up to 300 degrees Celsius without compromising product transparency. These additives provide long-lasting protection against bacteria and have shown significant efficacy against the coronavirus, offering approximately 97% protection.
Antimicrobial and Antiviral Masterbatches Based on Zinc Ions
Using newer technology, the zinc-ion-based masterbatches are transparent, stable at temperatures up to 240 degrees Celcius, have FDA approval and are especially suitable for polyolefins. These additives deliver long-term protection against bacteria and viruses for over 8 years, while also exhibiting effective antifungal properties against various molds.
Sulfur-based Antifungal Masterbatches
Sulfur-based masterbatches exhibit excellent activity against fungi and molds, making them ideal for products that combine wood fibers (WPC) and polyolefins. With high thermal resistance and no impact on product transparency, these additives are recommended for applications in wet or humid environments.
Customized Antibacterial Masterbatches
A dedicated team of professionals at Tosaf works closely with customers to provide precise adjustments and meet specific requirements for antibacterial activity and compliance with regulations. They offer tailored solutions that can be combined with colors and other functional additives such as anti-block, UV additives, and processing aids.
