Sanitized® BC A 21-03

Sanitized® BC A 21-03 by Sanitized is an antimicrobial additive based on a natural active ingredient in form of silver encapsulated in a patented glass ceramic material. The pure active ingredient has a strong effect against many bacteria. It shows wash- and high temperature resistance. This small particle size grade is especially suitable for extrusion of PP fibers, microfibers and monofilaments.

• For best performance and processability fibers should not be dyed by exhaustion.
• Due to its high temperature resistance, it is compatible with polymers processed at temperatures far beyond what organic active ingredients can withstand.
• However, the additive can also be used for extruded and molded parts.
• It prevents the formation of unpleasant odors caused by bacteria, offers durable effectiveness and remains stable at temperatures up to 500°C.
• Substrates protected with product are noted for their excellent skin tolerance and are safe for man and environment.
• It is used in a variety of applications, including clothing (sportswear, uniforms, socks), fibers for household items (pillows, mattress covers, towels), personal care items (toothbrushes, razors), and coatings for appliances (conveyor belts, countertops).
• It is also utilized in sanitary articles (toilet seats, bathtubs), cleaning items (brush bristles, wiping cloths), and industrial applications (filters, ropes, automotive parts).
• It is EPA-registered, BPR-compliant and accepted for OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, classes I-IV and approved for polymers with food contact (US FDA and EFSA).
• Recommended dosage level is 0.2-0.6% to the total weight of the material to be protected.
