摘要:
Sleeves, menus, tablecloths, pens, door push covers and other restaurant-type articles having anti-microbial properties to prevent the passage of microorganisms. Sleeves may be used with condiment containers, pens, door knobs, menus, chair arms, door pushes, etc. The articles herein are fabricated of a material impregnated with anti-microbial chemicals and/or compounds. The material is also non-absorbent (i.e., water resistant) allowing the articles to be wiped clean using conventional commercial cleaning agents. Materials used for fabricating tablecloths, for example, may have fibers impregnated with anti-microbial chemical and/or chemicals. Impregnating a material with one or more anti-microbial chemicals and/or compounds results in a material having the following properties: (i) water resistant; (ii) flexible and (iii) microorganism resistant.

Melt blown bicomponent fibers comprising a first thermoplastic polymeric material and a second thermoplastic polymeric material comprising homo- or co-polymer(s) of poly(m-xylene adipamide) or polyphenylene sulfide. The first thermoplastic polymeric material may be one or more homo- or co-polymer(s) of nylon 6 (polycaprolactam), nylon 6,6 (poly(hexamethylene adipamide)), polypropylene, and/or polybutylene terephthalate. A plurality of bicomponent fibers may thermally bonded to one another at spaced apart points of contact to define a porous structure that substantially resists crushing. The nonwoven fabric webs and ravings and self-supporting, three-dimensional porous elements may be formed from the plurality of bicomponent fibers.

Advantageously, para-chloroaniline (PCA) is minimal in antimicrobial articles prepared according to the method of the invention. A method of forming an antimicrobial article according to the invention comprises steps of: providing a polymerizable composition; incorporating an antimicrobially effective amount of at least one chlorhexidine-containing antimicrobial agent into the polymerizable composition; and, polymerizing the polymerizable composition to form chlorhexidine-containing polymer of the antimicrobial article, wherein processing temperature during the method is less than about 80 °C.
摘要:
A composition may be applied to animate and inanimate surfaces to render such surfaces antimicrobial for as long as the composition remains on the surface. The composition contains at least one pathogen-associated virus that is self-regenerating so that a user need not take steps to regenerate the material. The virus is or viruses are contained within a polymer matrix. The polymer matrix has the ability to maintain a desired moisture content to support the regeneration of the virus(es). Various methods of using the composition include the coating of animate and inantimate surfaces to prevent bacterial, viral, and fungal infections.

A system and method according to various embodiments can include a lighting fixture comprising a light source. An antimicrobial additive is added to an outer light emitting surface of the lighting fixture exposed to air. A sealing substrate is positioned between the antimicrobial additive and the light source to provide clean room capabilities when the lighting fixture is installed to seal a plenum.
