Biomaster Antimicrobial Additives

Biomaster is Addmaster’s silver-ion antimicrobial additive technology, developed to provide built-in product protection. It can be incorporated into suitable materials during manufacture or introduced through an appropriate coating or treatment.

Every project starts with your product: its material, manufacturing process and intended use. Available in masterbatch, liquid and powder formats, Biomaster can be developed for a wide range of suitable materials and production processes.

We help you assess additive selection and trial requirements, with performance evaluated in representative samples of the finished material. Our technical, regulatory and marketing teams can also support you throughout product development and commercialisation.

A significant objective of our products is to increase the safety of food production. Millions of working hours are lost annually due to food poisoning, and whilst diligence in temperature control is paramount, there is also the need to ensure that equipment is kept clean to avoid cross-contamination. The inclusion in our products of Biomaster provides added protection from cross-contamination and gives us a marketing advantage over many competitors.
