Antimicrobial water industry.
In an era where the purity and safety of water contact products are more crucial than ever, MatX is at the forefront of providing innovative solutions. On this page, we delve into the world of water-related industries, showcasing how our cutting-edge antimicrobial technologies are transforming products that regularly come into contact with water. From enhancing the hygiene of water pipes and storage containers to ensuring the cleanliness of bathroom and kitchen fixtures, our solutions cater to a broad spectrum of needs. Discover how our advanced materials are setting new standards in water-related applications, ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability.
Water Pipes and Tubes

Our antimicrobial additive is a breakthrough for water transportation systems. It effectively prevents the build-up of bacteria and algae, common culprits of clogging and contamination in pipes and tubes. This ensures a smoother, cleaner flow, significantly reducing maintenance efforts and costs. Suitable for both residential and industrial applications, our solution guarantees cleaner water delivery systems, contributing to overall health and efficiency.
Water Storage Containers

In water storage containers, maintaining the purity of the stored water is critical. Our additive plays a crucial role in preserving this purity by actively resisting the formation of harmful microbes. This is particularly vital for containers used in drinking water storage, food production, and industrial processes where water hygiene is a top priority. With our technology, water remains safe and clean for extended periods, a key factor in both residential and commercial settings.
Bathroom and Kitchen

High-touch surfaces like faucets, showerheads, and sinks in bathrooms and kitchens are prone to microbial contamination. Our additive enhances the hygiene level of these fixtures by providing a lasting antimicrobial shield. This not only ensures a safer environment but also extends the aesthetic appeal and lifespan of these fixtures. It’s an ideal solution for both home environments and public facilities seeking to uphold high standards of cleanliness.
Benefits.
And applications

Why use an antimicrobial additive?
Antimicrobial products designed for contact with water are increasingly important in various applications to ensure hygiene and safety. These products, often infused with antimicrobial agents, are used to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and other microbes.
Key applications include water pipes and tubes, where they help prevent clogging and maintain cleanliness, and water storage containers, where they ensure the water remains hygienic for safe consumption or use. In household settings, such as in bathrooms and kitchens, antimicrobial products are used in fixtures like faucets and sinks to maintain a high level of hygiene and prevent surface contamination. These applications highlight the growing relevance of antimicrobial technologies in preserving cleanliness and safety in environments where water contact is frequent.

MatX products for baby and child applications are designed with safety and hygiene in mind, incorporating the AMBX additive to ensure antimicrobial protection without harmful biocides.
The AMBX additive is a special additive in the form of a masterbatch used to provide products with antimicrobial properties. It has been developed by MatX and has the ability to make products >99.99% free from microbacteria without the use of biocides.
Absolutely, our products are designed for durability and long-lasting antimicrobial action, even with regular cleaning, making them ideal for maintaining hygiene in baby and child environments.
Thanks to the passive anti-adhesive principle, bacteria and fungi have no chance of survival. Because the technology does not rely on migration, there is no leaching, and bacteria cannot build up resistance over time.
The AMBX additive is a special additive in the form of a masterbatch used to provide products with antimicrobial properties. It has been developed by MatX and has the ability to make products >99.99% free from microbacteria without the use of biocides.
The functionality of the technology does not rely on migration, so nothing leaches away from the material over time. That means it will never run out; it is simply always there. So it will never fade away or wear off.
The AMBX additive is effective against a wide range of microbacteria. While it can contribute to reducing the spread of resistant bacteria, it’s important to note that it doesn’t provide complete immunity to all types of bacterial resistance. It is still important to practice proper hygiene and infection prevention.
