Silane-based antimicrobial additives are a cost effective means of improving products by providing inherent microbe fighting properties that can kill bacteria, yeasts, mold/fungi, and algae.

Biosafe's solution treats plastics by chemically bonding with the host polymer to provide permanent protection. It is completely non-toxic, non-migratory, and safe for skin contact, making it the best antimicrobial solution. Additionally, the additive does not discolor the host resin, allowing for improved colorability.
