Does Cotton Packaging Film have antibacterial properties

Pure cotton packaging film without modifications has limited inherent antibacterial properties. The natural fiber's moisture absorption can potentially encourage microbial growth without proper treatment.

These substances disrupt bacterial cell membranes and inhibit growth, making them ideal for food packaging and medical applications.

Advanced methods include:
• Genetically modified cotton fibers
• Blending with antibacterial polymers (polylysine, PEI)
• Maintaining biodegradability while enhancing functionality

Antibacterial efficacy depends on:
• Film thickness and agent concentration
• Environmental humidity levels
• Safety considerations for food contact applications
