However, it should be noted that these resins still exhibited bacterial growth (>100 visible colonies) prior to the washing and did not reduce bacterial growth during JIS Z2801 testing (Figure S1). Among commercially available biocidal additives, ZPT and 2-butyl-1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one (BBIT) were considered for use to reduce the microbial susceptibility of TPE compounds. The loading of ZPT was reduced from 1500 to 1250, and 750 ppm, and a blue tint colorant masterbatch was added at two levels, 3% and 6% by weight of the final compound.
