RTP Company: The Global Leader in Specialty Compounding

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Antimicrobial Compounds From RTP Company Prolong Product Life

WINONA, MINNESOTA, USA — New Antimicrobial Compounds from RTP Company can protect against damage caused by microorganisms such as mold, mildew, fungi, or bacteria. Such damage can shorten the product life of plastic parts and can manifest itself as odor, discoloration, loss of properties, or loss of function.

RTP Company uses a broad range of EPA-registered additives that combat the survival and growth of undesirable microorganisms on the surface and within plastic parts. These additives, two of which are FDA-compliant, can be incorporated into any engineering resin at levels that balance performance with safety and efficacy. The company can assist customers with proper labeling and marketing claim issues.

Due to the extensive selection of resins and additives, RTP Company does not test each Antimicrobial Compound. Rather, it predicts effectiveness based on the recommendations and testing of additive suppliers and can arrange further testing for those customers who require it.

Typical applications for Antimicrobial Compounds include sprinkler heads, hair care products, plumbing/water fixtures, houseware products, footwear products, athletic apparatus, and compounds that use organic fillers.
