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.
