GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies
This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers
has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit
bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist
fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts.
Tested against common bacteria and fungi,
these TPEs with antimicrobial technologies have
proven to protect the finished part from microbial
and fungi growth on both textured and smooth
surfaces.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial
and fungi growth
• Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by
controlling deterioration caused by mildew
or mold fungus
• Increases product durability, preserves surface
integrity, and minimizes odors
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications,
GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add
value in the consumer, packaging and automotive
markets.
