Antibacterial is a general term, including sterilization, sterilization, disinfection, bacteriostasis, mildew, corrosion, and so on. The process of killing bacteria by chemical or physical methods or hindering the growth, reproduction and activity of bacteria is called sterilization and bacteriostasis.
In the 1960s, people mostly used organic antibacterial agents to produce antibacterial textiles. With the successful development of inorganic antibacterial agents in 1984, antibacterial finishing has been developed rapidly, making antibacterial agents not only used in fiber and textiles, but also used in plastics, building materials and other products.
In the 21st century, with the advent of the aging society, the number of bedridden old people and home sanitarians has increased gradually, and the demand for elderly care products to prevent bedsores has also increased.
Due to the change from a production-oriented society to a life-oriented one, it will be an important topic in the future to develop and research products that are beneficial to human health and the earth’s environment.
At present, there are three main antibacterial mechanisms of antimicrobials: controlled release, regenerative principle and barrier or blocking effect.
The current application of the appropriate antimicrobials is around the safety and comfort of the application, as well as the durability of the performance. With the enhancement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, natural antimicrobial agents have attracted more and more attention, such as chitosan and chitin, etc. However, natural antimicrobial agents have obvious deficiencies in heat resistance and antibacterial durability. Although organic antimicrobials are widely used, they have some defects in heat resistance, safety release, drug resistance and so on. Inorganic antibacterial agent is a kind of antibacterial agent used more in the market, the technology is more mature, and have obvious advantages in the heat resistance, safety, long-term performance and other aspects, the market application prospect of which is very good.
Shanghai Langyi Functional Materials Co., Ltd. focuses on providing special functional additives solutions for ester based polymer materials, and continues to provide whole-life-cycle functional differentiated services for ester based polymer industry chain customers. We have independently developed AntibacMax®, a series of inorganic metal ion antibacterial agents, in response to market trends and new customer demands. AntibacMax® can sustainably release silver, zinc, copper and other antibacterial ions, and has a good bacteriostatic effect on broad-spectrum biological fungi. Adhering to the essence of traditional Chinese philosophy — “unity of conscience, knowledge and practice”, the company provides products, services and value feedback for customers, employees, shareholders, society and other stakeholders.
