Microbial susceptibility of various polymers and evaluation of thermoplastic elastomers with antimicrobial additives R E S E A R CH AR T I C L E Microbial susceptibility of various polymers and evaluation of thermoplastic elastomers with antimicrobial additives Zachary Zander1 | Deirdre Newton2 | Heather Scaglione1 | Averie Reiber1 | Parminder Agarwal2 1Avient Corporation, Avon Lake, Ohio, USA 2Lonza LLC, Morristown, New Jersey, USA Correspondence Zachary Zander, Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, OH 44012, USA. In the evaluation of ZPT-containing compounds, 34 distinct TPE formulations were produced, with each group being represented by various commercially active grades of Versaflex™ or OnFlex™ GLS™ elastomers. Notably, the addition of blue tint can effectively decrease the YI to a level below FIGURE 2 Results of Japanese Industrial Standard Z2801 testing for various GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer line products; 24-h bacteria viability reported in mean CFU/sample is plotted for a series of samples with increased ZPT loading.
