FORMULA AND PROCESS FOR CROSSLINKING ANTIMICROBIALS TO SURFACES AND POLYMERS

摘要

A process is described herein for applying antimicrobials to substrates to prevent the growth of biological agents. An antimicrobial-binder mixture is provided. The binder comprises guar gum, ammonium sulfate, urea, and methyl acryloid. The antimicrobial is an organo silane quartemary amine antimicrobial. The antimicrobial-binder mixture is ionized to comprise negatively charged particles. The antimicrobial-binder mixture is aerosolized to form fog. The fog is administered to the surface and dried.

1. A method of preventing biological agents from growing on a surface by applying an antimicrobial to the surface, comprising:
providing an antimicrobial-binder mixture, wherein the binder comprises guar gum, ammonium sulfate, urea, and methyl acryloid, and wherein the antimicrobial is an organo silane quarternary amine antimicrobial; ionizing the antimicrobial-binder mixture to form an ionized antimicrobial-binder mixture, wherein the ionized antimicrobial-binder mixture comprises negatively charged ions; aerosolizing the ionized antimicrobial-binder mixture to form fog; administering the ionized antimicrobial-binder fog to the surface; and drying the antimicrobial-binder mixture on the surface.
