09/04/2013
Swiss antimicrobial technology provider Sanitized has said it will launch two new additives designed for the protection of plasticised PVC. It will introduce the new products at the Techtextil event in Frankfurt in June.

It said on making the announcement that the two products will offer a longer lifecycle than previous versions, improved weather ability and thermal stability, as well as higher resistance to UV and yellowing.

The first of these new products, Sanitized PL 12-32, is a formulation with a high level of water resistance and UV stability, making it suited to outdoor applications, including tents. The second new product, Sanitized PL 12-33 is characterised by high thermal stability, regardless of elevated temperatures that may be necessary during processing, with the ability to retain product transparency.

Sanitized PL 12-32 and Sanitized PL 12-33 will offer protection against the unwanted effects of bacteria, mould fungi, mildew, yeasts and algae, all of which can cause material destruction, stains, cross contamination, odour development and biofilm formation.
