Microban® International announces a new distributor agreement with RIFRA Masterbatches. The two companies share a goal of providing novel masterbatches with antimicrobial properties, to be able to offer their injection, blow molding, extrusion, and compounding customers more choice in solutions.
Offers Additives for Packaging
RIFRA Masterbatches provides various additives to the packaging, building, medical device, E&E, and toy industries.
The company has also recognized an increasing interest in including antimicrobial technologies into plastics, especially in the heightened awareness of the current COVID-19 pandemic – and welcomes the opportunity to work with Microban®, a leading expert in the field, to address this unmet need.
Antimicrobials have always been of interest for manufacturing companies but adding them into products can be challenging and is fraught with regulatory loopholes. Microban® has a wealth of expertise in incorporating built-in antimicrobial protection into a vast array of products and has a similar customer-focused approach to RIFRA.
The partnership will be a distributor agreement, but both parties look forward to exploring further opportunities for the co-development of unique additive products which will combine features and simplify formulations.
