Abstract
Antimicrobials are used in a wide range of plastic applications, such as public phones, flooring and escalator rails to control the growth of microorganisms. They are also used in plastic products where infection is a concern, such as hospital furniture. Antimicrobials in plastics form a growing sector of the speciality biocides industry. This sector has now been selected by specialist suppliers, including Agion, Microban, Sanitized and Thompson, as an area for future growth. Niall D'Arcy of the Biocide Information Service at University College Dublin presents some of the most recent statistics and looks at the trends in the plastic antimicrobials industry.
