ANTIMICROBIAL POLYMER WITH PARTICLES INCORPORATED THEREIN AND DISINFECTING ELEMENT BASED ON SAID POLYMER

摘要

A disinfection element comprising a copper-based microbicidal contact region is intended to allow a particularly wide range of possible uses together with a reliably high level of microbicidal effectiveness in the contact region thereof. For this purpose, according to the invention, the contact region comprises a microbicidal surface layer formed of copper particles embedded in a matrix.

主权项

1. Disinfection element comprising a contact region which has a microbicidal surface layer, formed of copper particles embedded in a matrix, wherein the copper particles in the surface region of the layer are at least in part not covered by the matrix material, and wherein the fraction of the overall surface of the surface layer formed by the exposed copper particles is at least 10%.
