The invention relates to injection-molded plastic products having an antimicrobial additive incorporated into the plastic resin from which the injection-molded plastic products are formed. A preferred antimicrobial additive comprises 5-chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy) phenol. The injection-molded plastic products are formed by selecting an antimicrobial additive and an antimicrobial additive carrier system compatible with a plastic resin, combining the carrier system with the selected antimicrobial additive, incorporating the antimicrobial additive/carrier system into the plastic resin, depositing the plastic resin composition, including glass fibers or other high modulus fibers if desired, within the feed system of an injection-molding process and injecting the resin composition into a desired product-forming mold to form an injection-molded antimicrobial plastic product.
