Antimicrobial Additives for flexible films

Flexible films are everywhere — in food packaging, cosmetics wrappers, pharmaceutical sachets, pet food bags, and more. But with extended shelf life, moisture, and frequent handling, film surfaces can become a breeding ground for microbes. At Addmaster, our antimicrobial additives for flexible films proactively protect surfaces, maintaining hygiene, aesthetics, and product integrity.

As a trusted global provider of advanced additive technologies, Addmaster helps you enhance film performance, recyclability, and longevity — while instilling confidence in your end customers.

Flexible film technologies

We offer multiple additive platforms tailored for flexible films:

Biomaster: a tried-and-tested antimicrobial solution that integrates seamlessly with polymer and film processes.
Verimaster: an invisible, detectible additive for anti-counterfeiting and brand protection in films.
Scentmaster: fragrance masterbatches for films, with high concentration and low load rates (typically ≤ 1%).
Masterpiece: bespoke additive development for unique film requirements that standard technologies can’t fulfill.

Each technology can be deployed individually or in combination to meet your product goals.

Why Addmaster for flexible films

Seamless integration: Our additives are designed for typical film production processes (cast, blown, extrusion, lamination) with minimal process adjustment.
Durability & stability: Performance persists through film stretching, handling, UV exposure, temperature variation, and real-use conditions.
Minimal aesthetic impact: Low loading rates help prevent haze, colour shifts, or changes to film clarity.
Regulatory confidence: We support your global launches with full regulatory support, safety data, and regional compliance.
Recyclability & sustainability: Addmaster technologies are compatible with recyclates and support circular economy goals.

Applications & use cases

Flexible-film applications where antimicrobial performance adds value include:

Food & beverage packaging (inner liners, sachets, pouches)
Pharmaceutical film wrap and blister lamination
Cosmetic & personal care sachets
Pet food films
Barrier films in multi-layer structures
Hygiene, wipes, and sanitary film wrappers

By embedding antimicrobial product protection into the film, you deliver the benefits without requiring post-production coatings or treatments.

Our antimicrobial flexible films technologies

Biomaster is easily incorporated into any plastic, textile, paper, paint or coating.

Biomaster guarantees fast, effective antimicrobial protection for the effective lifetime of the product, helps to keep surfaces clean and hygienic and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
Verimaster Technology offers a fail-safe solution to your brand protection and product verification requirements.

Invisible to the naked eye and lasting the lifetime of your product, Verimaster additives are detectable only by our sensory or optical detectors.
Scentmaster Masterbatches present a wide range of fragrances for introduction into a variety of product materials.

Due to its high fragrance concentration, Scentmaster introduction rates are typically 1% or lower - making it a cost-effective, as well as appealing addition to your product.
Masterpiece Technology is available to any customer whose product specification demands the creation of a bespoke additive solution.

Masterpiece will research, develop and implement your additive – even offering ongoing technical support throughout product manufacture.
