The present disclosure provides antimicrobial compositions including a polyhaloolefin polymer, a cationic antimicrobial agent, and a vehicle that includes a plasticizer and a heat stabilizer. The cationic antimicrobial agent can be partially soluble in the vehicle. The present disclosure also provides for articles formed from the composition, with cationic antimicrobial agent incorporated throughout the polymer matrix, as well as methods of manufacturing the composition. La présente invention concerne des compositions antimicrobiennes comprenant un polymère d'oléfine polyhalogénée, un agent antimicrobien cationique et un milieu de suspension, qui comprend un plastifiant et un stabilisant thermique. L'agent antimicrobien cationique peut être partiellement soluble dans le milieu de suspension. La présente invention concerne aussi des articles fabriqués à partir de cette composition, dans laquelle un agent antimicrobien cationique est incorporé dans l'ensemble de la matrice polymère, ainsi que des procédés de fabrication de ladite composition.
