Mitsubishi Chemical Advanced Materials offers solutions to reducing the growth of harmful micro-organisms
The growth of health-threatening germs is a critical problem on open surfaces that are often exposed to human contact. Medical applications, pharmaceutical and food processing environments, and the public transportation sector are such typical areas. Materials used in these areas must therefore be resistant to repeated disinfection and sterilization processes according to high safety and hygiene standards, or should have antimicrobial properties to reduce the growth of harmful germs. Our portfolio of Life Science Grades and antimicrobial polymers offers customized solutions that meet these requirements.
