Antimicrobial Plastic & Polymer Additives

Delivering next-generation antimicrobial protection across plastics, coatings, textiles, and paper products. our advanced additive technologies are engineered to inhibit bacteria, viruses, and fungi for Built-In Polymer Protection while maintaining material performance, safety, and sustainability.

Broad-Spectrum Bacteria Reduction Using Advanced Microbial Inhibitors

NuviaChem AntiMCBL14 represents a breakthrough in microbial inhibitors for industrial materials. Designed using advanced nanotechnology, this multifunctional additive delivers long-lasting protection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi without altering the physical or chemical properties of the host material.

Antibacterial & Antiviral Additive Technology

Proven performance with up to 99.9999% bacterial reduction and
99.99% viral reduction, ensuring hygienic and safer end products.

Antifungal Protection for Polymers & Textiles

Effectively inhibits fungal growth, odor-causing microbes, and bio-degradation
in plastic compounds, coated fabrics, and paper products.

Thermally Stable Antimicrobial Plastic Additive

Exceptional thermal resistance up to 600°C, making it suitable for
extrusion, molding, and other high-temperature polymer processes.

Dual-Action Nanotechnology for Long-Lasting Antimicrobial Protection

AntiMCBL14 combines two synergistic antimicrobial mechanisms to ensure continuous and reliable microbial inhibition under both dark and light-activated conditions.

Nano-Silver Based Microbial Inhibitors

High-surface-area nano-silver particles disrupt microbial metabolism, inhibit enzyme activity, and prevent replication of bacteria and fungi, delivering persistent antimicrobial performance.

Photocatalytic Titanium Dioxide Antimicrobial Action

Light-activated titanium dioxide generates powerful reactive oxygen species that decompose viruses, bacteria, odor molecules, and organic contaminants into harmless by-products.

How Our Antimicrobial Additives Work

We utilize two powerful technologies to provide superior antimicrobial protection.

Nano-Silver Particles (AgNP)

With an exceptionally high surface area (10-11 m²/g), AgNP maximizes contact with microbes to enhance its biocidal effect.

How it works: Silver ions react with proteins in bacteria and fungi. This disrupts their cellular metabolism, suppresses respiration, and blocks nutrient transport—effectively inhibiting growth and multiplication. This makes it ideal for applications from socks to advanced healthcare dressings [2,3,4].

Titanium Dioxide (TiOâ‚‚)

TiOâ‚‚ is a photocatalyst that activates upon exposure to light.

How it works: When illuminated, TiOâ‚‚ generates electron and electric hole pairs on its surface. These react with oxygen and water to create powerful, unstable compounds. When organic matter (bacteria, viruses, odors) contacts the surface, these compounds break it down into harmless carbon dioxide and water (COâ‚‚ and Hâ‚‚O) [5].
Works on almost all types of Bacteria and Viruses. Offers 6 log reduction for Bacteria and 4 log for Viruses. Very safe for environment
