01、Why plastic products are easy to accumulate bacteria?
The surface of plastic products is smooth. Although it is easy to clean, the bacteria on the surface can still survive and accumulate.

Plastic products can easily adsorb oil on their surfaces, which provide rich nutrients for pathogenic microorganisms such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, bacillus, Achromobacter, octococcus and archaococcus.Even if the life with a lot of water washing or disinfection, it is difficult to thoroughly clean.


Hazards caused by plastics

Scotland telephone company has done a survey: the telephone is a serious route of transmission of more than 10 diseases, such as cold, pharyngitis, epidemic meningitis, hepatitis, skin diseases, conjunctivitis, tuberculosis and so on.In 1996, a nationwide food poisoning (pathogenic Escherichia coli O-157) occurred in Japan.


02、Fresh keeping film, fresh-keeping bag put for a long time have taste?
Plastic made into fresh film and bag is made of food grade PE plastic, which is basically safe and tasteless.

The reason why there is a smell in the kitchen for a long time is that they are covered with a layer of oil and the residual bacteria. These factors make the fresh-keeping films and bags have a greasy and moldy smell.


Preparation of food grade antibacterial preservative film and bag

In food grade plastics base, adding 2% - 5% silver ion antibacterial PE masterbatch to make antibacterial preservative film or antibacterial preservative bag can be adjusted according to their own needs.The processing conditions need to refer to the processing conditions of the base PE plastic, adding a small proportion, safe, non-toxic and tasteless.


03、Household chopping board is easy to blacken and mildew?
Bamboo and wood cutting boards are good, natural and environmental protection, but cleaning and management are troublesome.The kitchen knife leaves a knife mark on the cutting board, and there are two million staphylococci per square centimeter in such a knife mark.There are more than 100000 E. coli, and the number of fecal cocci is 200 times more than that of the toilet.

The best choice of bamboo cutting board is the whole bamboo. The splicing bamboo cutting board is easy to breed bacteria and fungi in the gap.And wood cutting board, the best choice of juniper, iron wood such as high wood, can reduce the use, cleaning and preservation of improper and produced by Aspergillus flavus (1 mg of Aspergillus flavus, will cause cancer).


Preparation of antibacterial cutting board

Using 4% - 5% JINDA silver ion antibacterial PP / PE masterbatch to make antibacterial plastic cutting board, which can resist bacteria and mildew; the cutting mark is 2.6 times of the wood cutting board, and the water absorption is 16 times of the wood cutting board, which can not hurt the knife, and can also be disinfected by hot water without deformation.


04、Can freezer mildew, cause freezer syndrome?

Refrigerators use low temperature to inhibit the growth and reproduction of bacteria.Under the temperature of cold box, some bacteria metabolic activity decreased or nearly stopped, but did not die. When the temperature was suitable, they could still grow and reproduce.The food in the refrigerator is often taken out and put in, so that the polluted bacteria increase the cold resistance, even in the low temperature can still grow and reproduce.

The sealing strip, door handle, fresh-keeping box and plastic products on the refrigerator are easy to accumulate bacteria and molds, which will not only make the refrigerator lose its original fresh-keeping effect, but also cause the accumulation of harmful microorganisms.Cause gastroenteritis, throat pain and other problems.

Manufacture of antibacterial refrigerator

The inner liner ABS, door seal PVC, door handle, fresh-keeping box drawer PP and other parts of the refrigerator are made of antibacterial technology.

Example: choose silver ion antibacterial ABS masterbatch, add 5% - 6% of the amount into the plastic base to make antibacterial ABS refrigerator liner material.Before use, the masterbatch is dried continuously for 2-4 hours at 80 ℃ in blast or vacuum oven, and the addition amount is adjusted according to its own needs.

05、What are the main causes of air conditioning diseases?
Air conditioning disease occurs because the air in the air conditioning room is too dry and too cold, causing irritation to skin, blood vessels, gastrointestinal movement, etc.
The main reasons are: in the airconditioned airtight room, after 5 to 6 hours, the indoor oxygen decreased 13.2%, E.coli increased by 1.2%, erythromycin increased by 1.11%, diphtheria increased by 0.5%, and other harmful bacteria in respiratory tract increased to different degrees.The air duct and blower of air conditioner are suitable for the survival and reproduction of bacteria and viruses. The bacteria and viruses are blown out by air conditioning, which leads to large-scale bacterial infection.

Manufacture of antibacterial air conditioner

The louver wind vane, air outlet, air conditioning filtration system and drainage system adopt antibacterial technology, which helps to inhibit the peculiar smell caused by the growth of bacteria and mold in the wet filtration system, block the accumulation of bacteria and mold, and keep the air fresh.
Example: silver ion antibacterial and Mould Resistant masterbatch was selected and 5% of the added amount was used to make antibacterial air conditioning wind vane.

06、The clothes washed by the washing machine stink of mildew?
After washing clothes, the dirt left by the washing liquid on the inner wall of the washing machine is not completely discharged with the sewage. Some of the dirt is attached to the inner wall of the washing machine. Over time, a large number of microorganisms and bacteria are accumulated on the inner wall of the washing machine.These microbial bacteria reproduce, reproduce and accumulate over time to produce a bad smell.
No matter how to disinfect and sterilize the moldy and smelly washing machine, it will not only wash the dirty clothes, but also bring mold to the clothes, which will harm our health.

Manufacture of antibacterial washing machine

The door washer, drainage pipe and washing barrel of the washing machine are made of antibacterial technology.

For example: choose silver ion antibacterial and mould proof masterbatch, 5% of the amount of additive can be made into antibacterial washing machine door gasket, drainage pipe.

07、Children's toys become the invisible killer of children's health?
The researchers analyzed 70 toys in three months and tested the toy surface 114 times to find out if there were bacteria.All kinds of pathogenic bacteria, including Staphylococcus typhi and influenza, can be detected on toys after 10 days.These pathogens often make children suffer from the corresponding infectious diseases.
Swiss scientists dissected yellow ducklings and other flexible plastic toys in bathtubs and found that ducks were moldy and smelly, with 5-75 million cells of mold and bacteria per square centimeter.Some of the most terrible bacteria include Legionella pneumophila, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and other harmful bacteria, which are usually infected in hospital.

Making of antibacterial toys

Manufacturers should change their ideas in time and use food grade antibacterial plastics as basic materials to make antibacterial toys and seize the market.

08、Why is the drinking water machine a device?
Water dispenser has become the decoration of many families and offices, and people have realized its problems: bottled water is poured on the water dispenser, when we pour water in the water dispenser, the external air enters the water dispenser, and the bacteria in the external air also follow into the water dispenser.Because the water in the water tank can not be discharged, and the existence of the heating pipe, the inside of the water dispenser has become a hotbed of bacteria.
There are also the "smart seat" on the water dispenser and the waste water tank, which are also very easy to store bacteria and pollute the water outlet and even the inner tank.In the long run, more sensitive people, especially the elderly and children, are prone to stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhea.

Manufacture of antibacterial drinking machine

The intelligent seat, waste water tank and inner gear of the water dispenser are made of antibacterial water dispenser by silver ion antibacterial technology.
Antibacterial plastic applications can also be used: computer keyboard, mouse, humidifier, water purifier, car accessories and so on.
Harmful bacteria exist in every corner of our lives. Some problems have appeared in our lives. We should not take it lightly. The plastics in daily necessities need antibacterial。

About antibacterial plastic products, there are the following questions you know:
1)How to choose antibacterial agents for antibacterial plastics?

In the use of antibacterial plastics, it is necessary to meet the necessary requirements for the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of plastics when they are used as basic materials. At the same time, it is necessary to consider the requirements for the special function of antibacterial and the additional factors resulting from it.

In terms of antibacterial properties, antibacterial plastics should be able to adapt to the use environment, and should have high-efficiency, broad-spectrum, long-term antibacterial properties.
Antibacterial plastics contain a small amount of antibacterial agents, which are required to meet the requirements of health and safety, and make the ultimate antibacterial plastic products non-toxic, odorless and harmless to the environment.

2)What is the effect of antibacterial plastics and how to test them?
The antibacterial effect of antibacterial products varies with different products.Many products do not have to achieve more than 90% antibacterial rate, but also to ensure the antibacterial effect of products.The specific antibacterial effect can be tested according to the proofing experiment of the product, which must comply with the standards and specifications of various products.
Silver ion antibacterial plastic masterbatch and antibacterial powder must meet the requirements of RoHS directive of EU, pass FDA or national food level safety test, and b/t24128-2009 mould proof performance test of plastics.
