The Covid-19
virus, which started in 2019 and has taken the whole world under its influence
has negatively affected normal living conditions and accordingly, increased
awareness to prevent anti-microbial diseases transmitted by contact. In almost
all sectors, precautions have been taken considering the transmission of
diseases by contact. As a requirement of our age, they enrich their product
ranges by developing new methods and making innovations for companies whose
sector is dominated by industrial locks, hinges, and handles, both in terms of
hygienic product design and in terms of the raw material of the part used in
production. For example, it is preferable that the products in the
air-conditioning sector have anti-microbial properties. The evaluation of the
effect of microorganisms on plastic raw materials and the determination of
whether this effect causes future deterioration in plastic materials has been
examined in our article. Currently, the products supplied to the sectors are
products produced from raw materials such as PA6 GFR30, ABS, PA6, which are
available on the market. It is aimed to provide anti-microbial properties of
products in accordance with the needs of the sector and the era by changing the
raw material used or adding additives in certain proportions to the raw
material.
