Antibacterial plastic

Antibacterial plastics are a type of plastic that can inhibit or kill bacteria, molds, algae, and even viruses that contaminate the surface of plastic in the environment of use. 

They maintain their own cleanliness by inhibiting the growth of microorganisms. Antibacterial plastics are mainly obtained by adding antibacterial agents to ordinary plastics.

In the use of antibacterial plastics, it is necessary to first meet the necessary requirements for their physical, chemical, mechanical and other properties when using plastics as basic materials. 

At the same time, it is necessary to consider the requirements for possessing the special function of antibacterial and the additional factors arising from it. Therefore, antibacterial plastics 

should have good mechanical strength, appearance, chemical stability, and good processability. In terms of antibacterial properties, it is required that antibacterial plastics can adapt to the 

usage environment and have efficient, broad-spectrum, and long-lasting antibacterial properties. Due to the presence of antibacterial agents in antibacterial plastics, it is required that the 

antibacterial agents used not only meet the prescribed hygiene and safety standards, but also ensure that the final antibacterial plastic product is non-toxic, odorless, and environmentally friendly.

Nowadays, antibacterial plastics are not only used in household appliances and daily necessities, but also increasingly used in building materials and interior decoration materials. The interior of 

high-end cars is also increasingly using antibacterial materials, such as the steering wheel, interior velvet, seats, handles, etc., which have been made of antibacterial plastics and materials.
