APPROACHBuilt-in antimicrobial protection
TECHNOLOGY
Antibacterial additives for integration into your material
Biomaster uses silver-ion antimicrobial technology and is available in formats adapted to different matrices, including masterbatch, liquid and powder.
Deltachem is Addmaster’s commercial representative in Spain. We help you select the Biomaster grade and coordinate samples, incorporation guidance and final product evaluation with the manufacturer.
APPLICATIONS
Applications and matrices
The technology can be incorporated into different matrices. Selection depends on the material, process, end use and regulatory requirements.
Healthcare
Hospital equipment, devices and surfaces where product hygiene is particularly important.
Handles & frequently touched surfaces
Handles, handrails, accessories and other frequently handled items.
Plastics & polymers
Integration into the material during manufacturing for a wide range of processed products.
Textiles
Technical and consumer applications where the substrate and process are compatible.
Paper, board and packaging
Printed paper, board and packaging components: select treatment for the substrate and intended use.
FROM MATRIX TO TRIAL
How to select Biomaster for your application
Antimicrobial protection incorporated into the material. Selection starts with the substrate and manufacturing stage, not a universal dosage.
Plastics and polymers
Masterbatch for injection moulding, extrusion, blow moulding and thermoforming; powder for polymer compounding and rotational moulding.
What to define: Resin, temperature, dispersion, colour and exposed surface.
Paints and coatings
Liquid additives for paints, coatings, adhesives, inks and sealants; powder additives for powder coatings.
What to define: Water- or solvent-based system, stability, thickness and intended cleaning.
Textiles
Define incorporation in relation to the process and finish.
What to define: Fibre, other finishes, handle and product care.
Paper and board
Assess incorporation during substrate manufacturing.
What to define: Paper type, wet process and packaging end use.
Evaluation example
For a frequently used PP part, first define the grade and moulding process. Then assess dispersion, finish and efficacy on the manufactured part; the result cannot be inferred from the additive data sheet alone.
Illustrative selection scenario; not a customer case or a guarantee of results.Before moving to production
Prepare untreated and treated samples, agree the test and check that the part’s properties are maintained. Material protection does not replace cleaning or imply health protection for the user.

Biomaster in the finished product
What information do I need to select a grade?
Material, process and end use. Add the grade, finish and cleaning or wear conditions if known. Discuss your application with Deltachem.
Is comparing a reduction percentage enough?
It must be considered alongside the sample, microorganism and test conditions. See what to check in the report.
Do antibacterial and antimicrobial mean the same thing?
Antibacterial refers to bacteria. Antimicrobial is a broader term; the scope of a product claim depends on the microorganisms and conditions evaluated.
How is efficacy tested?
Samples of the treated material or product are tested against control samples using a method appropriate to the application. A result obtained for an additive does not replace validation of the manufactured part.
Is it applied to the product or incorporated into the material?
Biomaster is incorporated during manufacturing or finishing, depending on the substrate. The format and point of addition are selected alongside the processing conditions.
How long does the protection last?
The technology is designed to remain incorporated in the product. Performance throughout its service life must be evaluated taking account of wear, washing, cleaning and actual conditions of use.
Does it change the appearance, smell or feel?
The formulation is selected to maintain the characteristics of the material. Colour, feel, finish and properties are checked on project samples before proceeding to production.
Does it replace cleaning?
No. Antimicrobial protection of the material complements the usual product cleaning and maintenance routines.
Does it use silver nanoparticles?
According to the manufacturer, Biomaster does not use nanosilver. Its antimicrobial technology is based on the action of silver ions.
How is a product containing Biomaster identified?
The manufacturer may identify the product as containing Biomaster in accordance with the brand usage conditions and the claims agreed for the evaluated product.
