How ZET-HEALTH antimicrobial polymers work
The technology is built on a proprietary zinc-chelate complex incorporated into the polymer matrix via a patented process. The result: a material that retains antimicrobial properties throughout its service life.
Molecular protection mechanism
Zinc chelates
A complex of Zn²⁺ ions with carefully selected ligands ensures controlled release of the active component.
Dual mechanism
Acts as both an enzyme inhibitor and an antimetabolite — disrupting key metabolic processes in pathogen cells.
Long-lasting effect
Antimicrobial activity is sustained for 3+ years through gradual release of the active component.
Broad spectrum
Effective against bacteria (incl. MRSA, E.coli, Salmonella), fungi, viruses and algae.
Works with four key matrices
The antimicrobial additive is introduced during compounding and does not change polymer processing parameters (injection, extrusion, blow moulding).
High-density polyethylene. Rigid packaging, technical parts.
Low-density polyethylene. Flexible films and bags.
Polypropylene. Transparent items, hot-food packaging.
ABS plastic. Housing parts, consumer and medical equipment.
Antimicrobial activity parameters
All characteristics are confirmed by accredited lab reports and can be provided on request.
