The invention relates to an amorphous, antimicrobial, transparent film consisting of a thermoplastic that can be crystallised, whose thickness ranges between 30 and 1000 mu m. Said film contains the thermoplastic as the main component and in addition 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-hydroxy diphenyl ether ("triclosan") as the antimicrobial component, either on its own or as part of a mixture with other antimicrobial substances. The film is characterised by cost-effective thermoforming properties, excellent optical characteristics and by an antimicrobial action. It can also exhibit UV stability, resistance to discoloration, photo-oxidative stability and flame-retardant properties and is heat-sealable. The invention also relates to a method for producing said film and to the use thereof. |
