Addmaster, a leader in silver-based antimicrobial technology, is excited to announce its partnership with Polymer Compounders, a leading UK thermoplastic compounder. The collaboration will see the incorporation of Addmaster’s proven Biomaster antimicrobial additive technology into Polymer Compounders’ Notoxicom® B6000 flame-retardant polymer. This breakthrough will bring together two cutting-edge technologies.
Biomaster, which is integrated into polymers, plastics, textiles, paper, paints, and coatings at the point of manufacture provides effective antimicrobial product protection that lasts for the effective lifetime of the product. It works by inhibiting microbial growth on treated surfaces, maintaining cleaner and more hygienic environments. With its powerful, lasting protection, Biomaster is a trusted solution for ensuring that products stay hygienic and durable.
Notoxicom® B6000, developed by Polymer Compounders, is an innovative PC/ABS flame-retardant material that inherently achieves high fire safety standards without relying on harmful additives. Unlike conventional flame retardants that use toxic chemicals, Notoxicom® B6000 offers flame retardancy “baked in” at a molecular level, ensuring V0 and 5V fire ratings, as tested by UL and Intertek. This product has a near zero toxicity rating, both flaming and non-flaming, which is greatly superior in the market when compared with other FR PC/ABS or FR ABS. Notoxicom® is also a more sustainable alternative to traditional flame-retardant materials that contain halogenated and liquid phosphate compounds, which can leach dangerous toxins into the environment.
