Antimicrobial additive technology

Biomaster is the trusted antimicrobial additive technology that delivers built-in, long-lasting product protection from the moment your material is manufactured. Incorporated directly into plastics, polymers, paper, paints and coatings, Biomaster continuously inhibits the growth of harmful microbes, keeping surfaces cleaner and fresher for the life of the product.

Unlike temporary surface treatments or coatings that wear away, Biomaster becomes an integral part of the material itself. This means dependable antimicrobial performance, reduced microbial build-up, and a powerful point of differentiation for your products.

How Biomaster works

Biomaster uses advanced silver-ion technology, the most proven and widely recognised antimicrobial method, to inhibit the growth of harmful microbes.

Once built into a material, Biomaster works continuously through a simple three-step action:

  • Disrupts the microbial cell wall
  • Interrupts essential cell activity and energy production
  • Prevents replication and colonisation

This built-in, long-lasting product protection helps reduce staining, odour and material degradation, keeping your products cleaner, fresher and performing better for longer.

Biomaster surface protection

Biomaster strengthens the surface integrity of treated materials by helping reduce the accumulation of microorganisms that can lead to staining, odor, or premature wear.

By supporting cleaner, fresher surfaces between standard cleaning cycles, Biomaster contributes to longer-lasting product quality and a more reassuring user experience.
