BioCote® is a worldwide market-leading antimicrobial additives supplier with an established history of over 25 years. Trusted by leading brands and manufacturers of plastic products, BioCote® takes pride in its technology being recognised for its quality, traceability, and credibility all around the world. BioCote®’s extensive portfolio of antimicrobial additives includes silver, zinc, and organic compounds, as well as combinations such as silver/zinc blends. Working without an off switch, the technology has demonstrated an 86% reduction in microbes in only 15 minutes and a 99.99% reduction in 24 hours. The antimicrobial additives can be easily and cost-effectively integrated into a wide variety of polymer materials, formulations, and polymer blends during manufacturing without affecting the colour or mechanical properties of the material. Offering an extensive variety of antimicrobial additives for engineering plastics and commodity polymers in concentrated powder or masterbatch pellets, the company has the capability to create bespoke polymer-specific masterbatches to meet any moulding or extrusion process. Designed to have antimicrobial efficacy at low dosage rates, BioCote®’s powder and masterbatch additives do not affect the overall structure of a polymer. This means, if a polymer is recyclable, the addition of BioCote® will not influence its recyclability. ⁠What’s even better, once incorporated into a product, BioCote®’s additives work continuously to protect against odour formation, staining and material degradation caused by microbes. This ultimately helps to prevent early product failure and can reduce the output of resources in manufacturing due to there being fewer, but better quality, products being made – a shift from quantity to quality that is key to progressing towards sustainable production. At BioCote®, we are committed to making a real difference to any business by working with our customers to deliver distinctive, high-value products to market. Partnering with BioCote® brings additional benefits, such as a comprehensive support package from our multi-disciplined team of antimicrobial specialists, a 24/7 Partner Portal, or brand affiliation with other well-known BioCote® partners. BioCote® is more than just an antimicrobial additive supplier. We believe in an open, consultative approach to antimicrobial product integration, continuously working in partnership with our customers from product development to market entry and beyond.
