HEIQ ANTIMICROBIAL ADDITIVES FOR DURABLE ODOR CONTROL OF MELT EXTRUDED FIBERS
HeiQ offers both plant- and metal ion-based antimicrobial technologies that can be durably incorporated into synthetic fibers during the fiber and polymeric material extrusion. Consequently, the active ingredients are always embedded into the product and continuously inhibit the growth of microorganisms that come in contact with the surface of the material, eliminating unwanted odors.
HeiQ antimicrobial technologies are designed to resist abrasion, washing, and exposure to UV radiation and various chemicals. The antimicrobial effect typically lasts for the lifetime of the finished product.
Tailored to your needs:
Smart active ingredients improve polymeric textiles for consumers, industry and institutions.
- Proven antimicrobial activity (bacteria, fungi and viruses)
- Metal ion and plant-based active ingredients and masterbatches
- Compatible with all polymers and manufacturing processes
- Regulatory compliant solutions, regulatory and marketing consulting services

STATUS OF REGULATION WORLD-WIDE
Our additives meet regulatory requirements
Our additives comply with the requirements of the European Union’s Biocidal Products Regulation 528/2012 administered by ECHA and US Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide (FIFRA) Regulation administered by US EPA. Products marketed with implied or explicit public health claims, such as specific antibacterial “kill” claims, need to be registered with the EU ECHA and or US EPA under FIFRA as biocidal/pesticidal products or devices and are not currently permitted. Please familiarize yourself with the relevant regulations concerning permissible claims. We are happy to assist you in finding the right claim for your product to either remain as a treated good or to register as a biocidal product.
