Antimicrobial and Mold-Resistant Slurry Additives in Molded Pulp: Stopping Mold at the Source

Molded pulp adds antimicrobial and mold-resistant agents into the slurry, inhibiting mold and bacteria from the pulping source, improving hygiene and safety in humid conditions and food/medical use — more durable than surface coating.

The Scenario: Three questions about antimicrobial treatment

Molded-pulp antimicrobial treatment has three questions:

Pain Points

• Surface coating wears off, so the effect doesn't last;
• Poor additive choice affects slurry strength or introduces safety risks;
• Food and medical scenarios demand strict compliance and safety for antimicrobial agents.

The Solution: Three in-slurry additive points

In-slurry antimicrobial treatment has three points:

1. In-slurry action Add agents during pulping so they work from inside the fiber, lasting longer.

2. Safe, compliant agents Choose food-grade, eco antimicrobial agents meeting food-contact and medical standards.

3. Dosage and strength balance Precisely control the dosage to balance antimicrobial effect and slurry strength.

The Result: Source-level antimicrobial, lasting safety

With in-slurry addition done right, antimicrobial action lasts from the source — no mold in humid conditions and safer food/medical use.
