With the development of social economy, more functions are expected on textile products, such as anti-bacterial and anti-odor, anti-mildew, anti-mite, moisture absorption and anti-UV, etc.. Among these functions, the demand and recognition of antimicrobial textiles is higher. The addition of antimicrobial masterbatches is a way to make textiles with antimicrobial function.
What is antimicrobial masterbatch?
Antimicrobial masterbatch is a concentrated plastic particle made by uniformly dispersing antimicrobial agents in the base resin, like PP, PET, ABS, PE, PVC, etc. After mixing a certain amount of antimicrobial masterbatch with the corresponding resin particles, antimicrobial fibers can be produced by the fiber processing and molding method.
Applications of antimicrobial masterbatch in textiles
- antimicrobial fibers
All artificial fibers such as nylon, polyester, spandex..etc can all be made into antimicrobial fibers. The antimicrobial masterbatch is mixed together with the plastic particles in the raw material. There is no need to change the production process.

2. antimicrobial non-woven cloth
The PP antimicrobial masterbatch can be directly mixed with PP particles to make antimicrobial non-woven cloth.

Advantages of antimicrobial masterbatch products
1、Broad-spectrum antimicrobial, long-term sustained antimicrobial effect.
2、Good thermal stability, high temperature resistance, no discoloration.
3、Good compatibility and dispersibility.
4、Does not change the original processing process of the product.
5、All kinds of plastic raw materials have corresponding masterbatch, reducing the impact on the performance of the original products.
6、Meets the requirement of food and sanitary materials, and has no impact on the environment when produced and used.
Antimicrobial masterbatch use precautions
1、 Make the antimicrobial masterbatch as dry as possible, the best amount of antimicrobial masterbatch to be added is 3-5%; use the mixer or other dispersing methods to make it mixed evenly.
2、The antimicrobial additives used are treated with special surface modification, so they have excellent compatibility with the material.
3、Avoid high temperature and high moisture during the production and storage process,
Langyi’s AntibaMax antimicrobial masterbatch
AntibacMax antimicrobial masterbatch is added with AntibacMax inorganic antimicrobial agent developed by Langyi, which is prepared by a special process. It uses different carriers and the most advanced technology to coat the silver ions on the surface of the carrier, so that the silver ions are slowly released to obtain a lasting, efficient and safe antimicrobial effect.
