Antimicrobial Protection Additives for Adhesives Market

Introduction

Antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives are compounds used for protecting adhesive materials from microbial degradation. Microbes, such as algae, fungi or bacteria, attack the adhesive’s surface and react with it by reproducing on the surface, which results in de-colorization, odor, cross contamination, bio film formation and surface staining. This often also leads to a decline in the mechanical properties of the material and reduction in service life. A variety of antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives are available in the global market. Antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives react against the unwanted growth of microorganism. Nano particles are used in some of the antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives. Generally, silver ion nanoparticles are used in antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives powder. When the antimicrobial particles come in contact with the microbes, it destroys the microbes and stops their growth. The use of antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives does not affect the adhesive properties of the original material. Antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives can also be used in the preparation of pressure-sensitive adhesives, which are mainly used in the construction industry. Antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives also find application in the medical field for dental adhesives and for reducing the risk of secondary caries. Antimicrobial protection additives for adhesives are highly regulated by certain government organizations, such as the U.S federal government.
