Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients China & Polygiene BioMaster help power electric car sales

Bringing anti-microbial technology to the automotive EV market

Car interiors are generally cleaned less frequently than other surfaces and areas of our day-to-day life. A recent study found that some items in almost every modern car, including cup holders, seat belts and dashboard buttons are potential hot spots for bacteria. Swabs showed between 100-200 individual bacterial types and the most heavily contaminated samples had between 2,000 and 4,000 live bacteria per swab*.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, awareness of the importance of keeping surfaces free of microbes has been sharper than ever, so it’s little surprise that car owners are among those keen to ensure that their vehicle cabins are as clean as they possibly can be.

BioMaster from Addmaster (a Polygiene company) inhibits the build-up of microbes on surfaces between cleaning, keeping car interiors fresher and more hygienic. The surface protection lasts 24/7 for the lifetime of the vehicle and can be applied to almost any substrate without compromising the structural integrity of the end product.

Jebsen & Jessen Ingredients China is the designated agent of British ADDMASTER in China. Over the years, we have worked closely with Addmaster to promote the BioMaster technology to various fields.

Initially, trials have been successful in incorporating Polygiene BioMaster coatings into NIO Haptex seats. Further trials are being extended to other potential hot spots including handles and steering wheels.

Among the models containing Polygiene BioMaster technology will be the NIO ET7 - NIO’s first saloon, a direct Tesla Model S rival, the top-of-the-line model has a ginormous 150kWh battery pack, with a combined 641bhp from its twin e-motors powertrain, 0-62mph takes 3.9 seconds.

Dahai Meng, Head of Environmental & Material at NIO says, “In order to give our users a more pleasant, hygienic, and comfortable driving experience, ET7 uses silver ion antibacterial additives on the PU leather seats. Polygiene BioMaster technology is the silver lining that will help NIO win in the future”.
