Plásticos Antibacterianos: Una Respuesta Innovadora y Biocompatible

Parx Plastics has come up with an innovative and biocompatible solution for antibacterial plastics. This approach is base on the use of zinc and can be applied to any existing polymeric material. The absence of nanoparticles or other hazardous compounds and the negligible zinc migration allow applications in contact with foodstuff. The ISO 22196 tests to evaluate the antibacterial activity resulted in 98-99% effectiviness against Staphylococcus Aureus and Escherichia Coli, but, additionally, other bacteria and microorganisms have been also tested with identical results. The features of these treated materials, Sanipolymers, broaden the applicability of antibacterial plastics.
