Hospitals Rush To Obtain Specialist Plastics

Addmaster has been working on antimicrobials for over four years, an investment that is now beginning to pay off in light of current concerns over the MRSA superbug.

The company's Biomaster antimicrobial technology has recently experienced a large increase in sales as hospitals rush to obtain specialist plastics materials that can help fight the bacterium. Biomaster products are based on exclusive inorganic chemistry, offering superior performance against organic-based types in terms of heat stability, lower migration and anti-fungal properties. They are suitable for use in polyolefins, styrenics, polyester, polycarbonate, PET, polysulphone and nylon.
