Additives for Washroom applications

Materials used in washroom products are often exposed to moisture, humidity, and frequent use, which can place increased demands on surface performance over time. In these conditions, untreated materials may be more susceptible to issues such as odor development, staining, and material degradation.

Routine cleaning and maintenance remain essential in washroom settings. Biomaster antimicrobial additive technology can be incorporated into materials used in washroom products—such as flooring, wall coverings, sanitaryware, and fittings, to help inhibit the growth of odor-causing and material-degrading microorganisms on treated articles.

By integrating antimicrobial additive technology directly into materials during manufacture, washroom product manufacturers can support surface quality, appearance retention, and material durability throughout the intended service life of the product.

Supporting Material Performance in Washroom Products

Materials used in washroom products are regularly exposed to moisture and humidity, which can place increased demands on surface performance over time. In these conditions, untreated materials may be more susceptible to issues such as staining, odor development, and material degradation associated with microbial growth.

By incorporating Biomaster antimicrobial additive technology into washroom products during manufacture, manufacturers can help inhibit the growth of odor-causing and material-degrading microorganisms on the treated article itself. This supports protection of the product by helping reduce deterioration and maintain surface quality between routine cleaning cycles.

Biomaster can be incorporated into a wide range of washroom-related products and materials, including:

  • Sanitaryware
  • Textiles (such as towels, face cloths, and bath or shower mats)
  • Ceramic tiles (wall and floor applications)
  • Taps and shower components
  • Shower curtains
  • Sealants and grouts

Biomaster Technology

Biomaster antimicrobial additive technology can be incorporated into washroom products during manufacture to support built-in product protection. When integrated into the treated article, Biomaster helps inhibit the growth of odor-causing and material-degrading microorganisms on the product surface.

This built-in functionality supports surface quality and material durability between routine cleaning cycles and is focused on protecting the treated product itself.

Biomaster technology supports washroom products by helping to:

  • Support product protection between routine cleaning cycles
  • Reduce odor development associated with microbial growth on the product surface
  • Limit microbial buildup that can contribute to staining and material degradation
  • Support long-term material durability
  • Provide built-in antimicrobial additive functionality within the treated article
  • Offer a point of differentiation for washroom product manufacturers

Our Washroom technologies

  • 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.
