d2p = Design to Protect
 
d2p Anti-Microbial Additive
Product description
d2p is an additive system that provides anti-microbial and fungicidal performance.d2p is an anti-microbial masterbatch designed for specific applications.

The inorganic nature, small particlesize and high temperature-tolerance of the active ingredient makes it ideal for use in a wide range of polymer processes.

How does it work?…Silver based biocide

Silver is widely accepted as having broad-spectrum anti-microbial activity. In order to understand why this is so, it is necessary to examine the action of silver ions against microbes.

Stage 1
Silver ions enter micro-organisms’ membrane and cause damage and disruption to the cellular wall before penetrating the cell.

Stage 2 Silver ions are highly reactive with enzymes and can deactivate vital molecules.

Stage 3
Silver ions interact with the DNA cell and prevent replication.
