Riviera Polymers Private Limited was envisaged in 1982. The organization had to become a mark to reckon with in the manufacture of Colour and Additive Concentrates and Special Thermoplastic Compounds. Two decades on, we are living as Brand Riviera and remain the front-runner manufacturer of high-quality Masterbatches and Specialty Thermoplastic Compounds in India.

Antimicrobial Masterbatch: Built-In Protection Against Bacteria & Microbes
In a world more focused than ever on health, hygiene, and product safety, incorporating antimicrobial properties directly into plastics has become a major innovation.
Antimicrobial Masterbatch is a high-performance additive designed to inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microbes on the surface of plastic products. It offers continuous, long-lasting protection without altering the appearance or processing of the plastic.
What is Antimicrobial Masterbatch?
Antimicrobial Masterbatch is a concentrated formulation of antibacterial agents (such as silver ions, zinc pyrithione, or organic biocides) dispersed in a carrier resin like PP, PE, or universal polymer.
When added to plastic during manufacturing, it:
- Disrupts microbial cell function
- Prevents reproduction of bacteria and fungi
- Reduces the risk of odor, staining, and product degradation
It provides 99.9% reduction in microbial growth, making products safer and more hygienic over their lifecycle.
Technical Overview
Feature | Specification |
Active Agents | Silver ions, zinc pyrithione, organics |
Carrier Resin | PE, PP, ABS, PET, universal |
Antimicrobial Efficacy | Up to 99.9% microbe reduction |
Processing Temperature | Up to 280°C (application dependent) |
Dosage Level | 1% – 5% typical |
Regulatory Compliance | FDA, EU, BPR, RoHS |
Effect Duration | Up to product lifetime |
How It Works
The antimicrobial masterbatch:
- Releases controlled amounts of active agents (e.g., silver ions)
- Penetrates microbial cell walls, interrupting key life processes
- Stops microbial replication, leaving surfaces hygienic and cleaner for longer
Unlike surface coatings, this protection is embedded within the plastic, offering durable and non-fading antimicrobial action.
Conclusion
Antimicrobial Masterbatch is a powerful tool in making plastics safer, cleaner, and more hygienic. Whether you’re manufacturing medical devices, baby toys, packaging, or household goods, this additive offers lasting protection against microbes, giving your product a distinct competitive edge in health-conscious markets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our FAQ section provides clear answers to common questions about white masterbatches, from product features to application details. We aim to help you understand how our solutions can improve your plastic products. If you have further inquiries, our team is always ready to assist you.
What does antimicrobial masterbatch do?
It inhibits or eliminates microbial growth on plastic surfaces.
Is it safe for skin contact?
Yes—many variants are dermatologically safe and suitable for personal care use.
Does it affect the color of plastic?
No—formulated to be transparent or compatible with colored products.
How long does the effect last?
It provides protection for the entire life of the product.
Does it replace surface sanitization?
No, but it complements cleaning by preventing microbial regrowth between cleanings.
Is it effective against COVID-19 or viruses?
Primarily antibacterial and antifungal; certain variants may offer antiviral activity (pre-testing required).
Can it be used in food-contact applications?
Yes—food-grade versions are available with necessary compliance.
What’s the dosage requirement?
Typically 1–3%, depending on efficacy needed and material used.
Is it compatible with recycled plastics?
Yes—it can be added to virgin, recycled, or blended materials.
Can I use it with other additives?
Yes—compatible with UV, anti-static, flame retardant, and color masterbatches.
What regulations does it meet?
FDA, REACH, RoHS, and EU Biocidal Product Regulations (BPR) compliant versions available.
Does it leach into the environment?
No—non-leaching and environmentally safe when used as directed.
Is it heat-stable?
Yes—can withstand processing temperatures up to 280°C.
Will it change the smell or feel of the plastic?
No—neutral odor and finish.
Can it be used in water storage applications?
Yes, especially with silver-based grades suitable for water-contact surfaces.
How is it different from antimicrobial coating?
Masterbatch is embedded during production and lasts longer than surface coatings.
Can I customize the active agent?
Yes—silver, zinc, or organic agent formulations can be tailored.
Is it cost-effective?
Yes—reduces returns, complaints, and adds value to end products.
Is antimicrobial masterbatch recyclable?
Yes—it doesn’t affect recyclability of plastic when used properly.
Where can I buy it in India?
On platforms like MasterbatchManufacturers.com or from certified suppliers across India.
