The market demand for plastic antibacterial agents is released, and the future development prospects of the industry are good
Plastic antibacterial agent is an additive that inhibits or kills bacteria, fungi, mold, algae and viruses stained on the surface of plastic. The antibacterial effects of plastic antibacterial agents are divided into two categories: bactericidal and bacteriostatic. The concentration and action time of the antibacterial agent have an impact on the antibacterial effect. In recent years, with the improvement of residents’ health awareness, the scale of the antibacterial plastic market has expanded, which in turn has led to the release of demand for plastic antibacterial agents.
In terms of classification, plastic antibacterial agents can be divided into four categories: organic antibacterial agents, inorganic antibacterial agents, natural antibacterial agents and polymer antibacterial agents. Organic antibacterial agents have fast sterilization speed and are easy to process, but they have poor heat resistance and low safety. The subdivided varieties include ammonium salts, phenol ethers, phenols, etc.; inorganic antibacterial agents mainly use the antibacterial ability of metal ions. To achieve the purpose of bacteriostasis and sterilization, subdivided varieties include silver zeolite, silver activated carbon, silver silica gel, etc.; natural antibacterial agents are safe and non-toxic, but their sterilization rate is low and processing is difficult; polymer antibacterial agents have obvious comprehensive advantages and are currently the best antibacterial agents for plastics. important direction for agent development.
According to the “Special Survey Report on Plastic Antibacterial Benchmark Companies and Competitors from 2022 to 2026” released by the Industrial Research Center, affected by the new coronavirus Driven by the pneumonia epidemic, residents’ health awareness has increased, and antibacterial plastics have become a new demand for market consumption. In 2021, the global antibacterial plastics market size will be approximately US$13.68 billion, and the market size is expected to grow to US$16.00 billion in 2026. Plastic antibacterial agents are mainly used in the field of antibacterial plastics. With the development of the antibacterial plastics market, the plastic antibacterial agent market will maintain a growth trend.
There are many players in the plastic antibacterial agent market, and market competition is intensifying. In the international market, plastic antibacterial agent suppliers include Germany’s BASF, Bayer MaterialScience, the United States Tenol Apex, Ticona, etc.; in the domestic market, plastic antibacterial agents Agent suppliers include Jinda Technology, Jin Micro-Nano New Materials, Jiangsu Wannap New Materials, Shanghai Langyi, Nanjing Tianshi Blue Shield, etc.
The preparation process of plastic antibacterial agents includes direct addition and mixing methods, antibacterial agent masterbatch methods, surface bonding methods, lamination methods, and post-processing methods. Overall, each preparation process of plastic antibacterial agents has its own advantages and disadvantages. In order to meet the requirements of efficient, environmentally friendly and large-scale production of plastic antibacterial agents, the existing preparation process of plastic antibacterial agents still needs to be further optimized.
Industry analysts said that plastic antibacterial agents can achieve antibacterial, sterilizing and bacteriostatic effects. In recent years, with the upgrading of market consumption, The market demand for antibacterial plastics has been released, and the market for plastic antibacterial agents has grown accordingly. There are many suppliers in the antibacterial plastic agent market, and market competition is intensifying. With consumption upgrading, environmental protection, high efficiency, and diversification will become the development trend of plastic antibacterial agents. In the future, companies with the above product supply capabilities will have more competitive advantages.
