We are becoming increasingly aware that, besides usability and convenience in daily life, plastics enhance our safety. Protective equipment made largely from plastics, films and synthetic fibres improves hygiene and enables us to effectively eliminate unwanted bacteria.

The use of Tarnamid MB AMB as an additive to plastics creates antimicrobial properties in products without affecting their existing parameters.
