Parx Plastics announces on target results with BASF Terluran GP-35 ABS copolymer. Terluran is a

standard ABS grade with a low viscosity with a very wide range of applications. ISO 22196 testing by a

TV-certified laboratory show an antimicrobial effect of 98-99% for Escherichia Coli (Gram-) and

Staphilococcus Aurus (Gram+) bacteria. Terluran GP-35 is a so called world grade material as it is

available throughout the world and now with the aid of the patented technology of Parx Plastics it can

incorporate an effective antimicrobial property.

Parx Plastics with its headquarters in Rotterdam, The Netherlands and subsidiaries in Bologna, Italy

and Ningbo, China brings to the market an innovative biocompatible technique to incorporate an up to

99% effective antibacterial/antimicrobial property into polymers/plastics. The non-toxic, non-cytotoxic and

non-ecotoxic solution is the result of over 4 years of biomimetic research and offers an

antibacterial/antimicrobial solution that is fully safe, knows no migration, does not contain nano(silver)-

particles and is suitable for food- and medical grade materials.

The innovative technology of Parx Plastics allows the creation of Sanipolymers by incorporating a

bodily own trace element providing a highly effective antibacterial property. The technology can be

applied to any (co-)polymer and offers a safe and non-toxic alternative to the presently available

solutions such as (nano-)silver, chemicals (e.g. Triclosan) or solutions by means of nano-particles. The

effectiveness can reach as high as 98-99% after 24 hours following the ISO 22196 or JIS Z 2801

testing guidelines and works effectively against Staphylococcus Aureus, Escherichia Coli, MRSA,

Clostridium Difficile and many others. The Parx Plastics technology is very appealing to many markets

and applications, as it shows no migration.
