Composition:
VIBATAN PE BACTERIOSTATIC 02885 is a composition of a special inorganic bacteriostatic agent dispersed in polyethylene, free from waxes and lubricants .

Application:
VIBATAN PE BACTERIOSTATIC 02885 is suitable for application in polyolefine resins during extrusion of end-products having thickness not lower than 100 µm, or injection moulding.
It is well known that plastics are subject to continuous attacks by microorganisms; the presence of bacteria can be due to bad hygenic conditions and concerning some plastic materials this presence is due to plasticizers used for relevant production.
Growth and propagation of microorganisms lead to inconveniences such as bad smells, decolorations or stains, and also the functional characteristics of the end-product may be altered.
Plastics do not have any protection system by nature and cannot therefore prevent this contamination. The addition of VIBATAN PE BACTERIOSTATIC 02885 prevents and stops the growth and propagation of microorganisms and keeps its efficacy even after numerous washes of the end-product, thanks to the release of small dosages of the active substance on each washing cycle.
VIBATAN PE BACTERIOSTATIC 02885 is food approved according to FDA American Regulation and is suitable if used in contact with foodstuff (for more information on max. limits ask for Food Approval Certificate).
