Which trends are expected to transform the antimicrobial plastics market?
Prominent firms in the antimicrobial plastics sector are advancing inventive technologies such as antimicrobial and antifungal additives. These additives, invested into materials, impede the growth of microorganisms and fungi by interrupting their metabolic processes. Commonly used in products like plastics, textiles, and coatings, they act as a defense against microbial pollution, thereby safeguarding materials from degradation and health hazards. For example, in December 2023, Avient Corporation, a US-based company specializing in unique and sustainable material solutions and services, introduced Cesa Withstand. This is created to improve thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) film-coated items; these additives efficaciously manage microbe growth in various sectors, including outdoor, medical, aviation, marine, and industrial markets. They restrict the growth of bacteria, mold, and fungi on plastic surfaces, hence preventing problems such as odor, staining, discoloration, and loss of mechanical durability. These additives’ efficiency in diminishing bacterial action has been affirmed against international standards (JIS 2801) and rigorous anti-fungal tests. They are precisely customized to meet antibacterial and anti-mold necessities for applications like medical beds, see-through tent parts, and ice bags.
