K E Y W O R D S additives, antimicrobial, biological applications of polymers, blends, elastomers, thermoplastics 1 | INTRODUCTION The global consumption of specialty biocides at the manufacturing sales level was approximately 1.7 million metric tons with a value of about $7.5 billion.[1] However, the usage of these additives is quite nominal in plastics ($180 million USD) and other hard surfaces.[2] The SARS- CoV-2 pandemic has brought to the forefront the necessity for customers to protect themselves in the environment in which they live, leading to a greater appreciation for disin- fectant products in professional hygiene settings (airports, hospitals, schools, etc.) as well as home disinfection applica- tions, such as laundry sanitization. Products manufactured on different com- pounding lines also have unique processing conditions, including but not limited to variations in screw design, residence time, and processing temperatures.

There are many hot runner component and tool manufacturers available. If the hot tip manufacturer selected does not have prior SBC material experience, it may be necessary to experimentally determine the best gate type and geometry through prototyping.
