HeiQ POLYMERS OFFERS…
Knowledge, expertise and the widest range of antimicrobial additives to prevent the deterioration of plastics and coatings by controlling and eliminating the cultivation and growth of microorganisms on their surfaces. Antimicrobial additives can be pre-compounded into masterbatches easily incorporated into polymer products at the point of manufacture including coatings formulations, injection molding or extrusion of fibers, film or sheet.
Our active antimicrobial compounds can be incorporated into virtually all plastics and coating types, preventing premature product degradation that could be induced by an array of microorganisms including mold, mildew, algae and bacteria.
…and Regulatory compliance
Chemical substances are regulated all around the world, and substances that control micro-organisms often face even higher regulations, which is why HeiQ Polymers will help you identify the requirements that apply to your products.
Antimicrobial substances are regulated in the United States under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), and in the European Union under the Biocidal Products Regulation 528/2012 (BPR). HeiQ Polymers offers full ranges of products compliant with both FIFRA and the BPR.
HeiQ Polymers also offers many antimicrobial additives that comply with regulations regarding substances in plastics and coatings in contact with food or drinking water depending on region.
