There are many differences among the antimicrobials on the market. The main classification of them is between organic and inorganic antimicrobials. Among the organic ones, one the most popular is the triclosan (2,4,4’-Trichloro-2’-hydroxydiphenyl ether), while among the inorganic ones the most common are those silver-based as our TEMAD ANTIBACT. Both triclosan and silver-based antimicrobials are effective against many kind of microorganisms. In particular the triclosan is less effective against negative grams (one of the two classes in which bacteriums are divided, the other one is that of positive grams). It is also little or not at all effective against pseudomonas bacteriums, which are particularly found in all the parts in contact with water. Silver-based antibacterials are effective both against positive and negative grams, pseudomonas included. TEMAD ANTIBACT doesn’t migrate but releases silver ions through a mechanism based on the law of ionic exchange. The ionic exchange stops when the balance point is reached, so that the yield of the product can be improved and extended at its best. TEMAD ANTIBACT can be used with all kind of thermoplastic resin.
TEMAD ANTIBACT can be used as an ordinary masterbatche;
Generally the recommended percentage is from 3% to 6%.
