[Information] Use of Polylysine in Synthetic Resins
Natural amino acid 'Polylysine' as an additive in food preservatives, hygiene materials, and daily necessities. Examples of the use of Polylysine in synthetic resins are introduced.
ε-Polylysine (hereinafter referred to as Polylysine) is a substance formally known as ε-Poly-L-lysine. It is a homopolymer consisting of 25 to 35 units linked by amide bonds, formed from the ε-amino group and the α-carboxyl group of the essential amino acid L-lysine. Since 1989, it has over 30 years of manufacturing experience and is widely used as a food preservative amino acid. By blending Polylysine into synthetic resins, antibacterial resins can be obtained. Additionally, it has been reported that using dispersants allows for antibacterial effects to be achieved with a smaller amount of Polylysine added. We introduce the antibacterial effect against E. coli of polypropylene sheets blended with Polylysine. Polypropylene sheets with added Polylysine showed antibacterial effects against E. coli. By using zinc stearate as a dispersant, antibacterial effects can be achieved with a smaller amount of Polylysine added. *For more details, please download the PDF or feel free to contact us.
