The event, held in Troy, Michigan, from September 30 to October 3, 2024, draws industry experts, decision-makers, and thought leaders across the mobility value chain.
Attendees can expect more than 70 technical presentations, keynote speeches, and valuable networking opportunities, making it the ideal place to discover cutting-edge polyolefin materials and technologies.
Microban to Share Expert Knowledge on Antimicrobial Innovations for Automotive Plastics
Microban will deliver a key presentation titled “New Sustainable Generation of Antimicrobials for Polyolefin” on Wednesday, October 2, 2024, from 5:00 – 5:30 PM in Hall II at the Detroit Marriott Troy.
Presented by Mai Ha, Sr. Product Development Engineer at Microban, this session will focus on how antimicrobial technology can enhance automotive plastics by extending product life and contributing to less waste.
Why Antimicrobial Technology Matters for Automotive Plastics
Antimicrobial technology offers numerous benefits for automotive interiors, where polyolefins are widely used in components like dashboards, door panels, and seating. These surfaces are prone to bacterial growth, which can lead to odor, staining, and material degradation. When built into these materials during manufacturing, Microban antimicrobial additives inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew, making automotive surfaces cleaner, more durable, and longer-lasting.
Key benefits of antimicrobial protection in automotive plastics:
- Reduces odor and staining caused by microbial growth
- Prevents premature breakdown of materials caused by microbes, enhancing durability.
- Aligns with sustainability goals by extending the lifespan of treated plastics.
As automotive manufacturers seek sustainable solutions, antimicrobial technology represents a powerful tool for creating cleaner, longer-lasting, and more durable materials.
