What is the purpose of antimicrobial polymers?
AlphaSan, the antimicrobial polymer, is added to approved materials at varying levels for imparting fungistatic, bacteriostatic & algistatic properties to the material and the end products. Antimicrobial polymers also offer high-temperature stability and low colour formation.
Why must the tubing be protected against microbes?
Growth of microbes (such as bacteria, algae & fungi) can cause foul odours, discolouration and formation of biofilm. This may lead to contamination of the material being transferred and degradation of the tubing itself.
