Plastics serve several important functions in our modern lives, in a variety of application areas.
Recently the Coronavirus crisis has hit us hard worldwide and we all feel the pressing need to have disposable plastic items always available, which give us that much needed sense of “extra security”.
In the medical field in particular, ensuring patient care is today the guiding principle, and disinfection and protection have become a very important issue.
Bacteria in fact, as well as fungi, germs and molds, nest on every material on which they can multiply very quickly. The presence of these undesirable microorganisms negatively influences the hygienic conditions of the product and can compromise the quality of the surface of the material with consequent early deterioration of the product, as well as causing allergic reactions.
Plastics do not have any protection system by nature and cannot therefore prevent this contamination.
On the matter VIBA can offer its VIBATAN®PE BACTERIOSTATIC 51A0150
The addition this masterbatch prevents and stops the growth and propagation of microorganisms and keeps its efficacy even after numerous washes of the end-product, thanks to the release of small dosages of active substance on each washing cycle.
The product works also as antiviral agent and confers to end products a reasonable protection against the proliferation of some types of CoronaVirus.
