Our Technologies

What We Do

Biomaster is a silver ion technology that can be incorporated into plastics, textiles, paper, paints, and coatings to support built-in product protection.

When integrated into a treated article, Biomaster helps inhibit the growth of odor-causing and material-degrading microorganisms on the product itself, supporting long-term surface quality and durability alongside routine cleaning.
Verimaster anti-counterfeit technology provides a secure approach to brand protection and product verification.

Integrated directly into the product, Verimaster features covert markers that are invisible to the naked eye and can be identified using dedicated sensory or optical detection methods.
Scentmaster masterbatches offer a wide range of fragrances that can be incorporated into a variety of product materials.

With a high fragrance concentration, Scentmaster is typically introduced at levels of 1% or lower, making it a cost-effective and appealing way to enhance the sensory characteristics of finished products.
Masterpiece technology is available to customers whose product specifications require a bespoke additive solution.

Through the Masterpiece program, Addmaster works with customers to research, develop, and integrate customized additives, with technical support available throughout the product development and manufacturing process.
