How Biomaster Works

Biomaster antimicrobial agent is based on silver ion technology and has three modes of action.
When bacteria come into contact with a Biomaster protected surface, the silver ions prevent them from growing, producing energy or replicating, therefore they die.
Unlike some antimicrobial agents, Biomaster is incredibly durable, long lasting and highly active. When added, it is dispersed throughout the entire item and becomes an integral part of the product.
Silver is inorganic and non-leaching which means that, unlike organic antimicrobial agents / technologies, it stays within the item to which it is added.
The controlled release of the active ingredient provides maximum antibacterial protection for the lifetime of the product.

How is Biomaster added?

Biomaster can be added at any stage of the manufacturing process.
Antimicrobial technology is available in masterbatch, liquid and powder formulations and we will work with you to find the best solution for your application.
Unlike topical treatments, Biomaster is incorporated in the product not on it, providing permanent product protection.
