FIELD: chemistry. ^ SUBSTANCE: elastometic products have low microbial affinity. The product has a substrate body partially moulded from natural or synthetic polymer latex having an antimicrobial composition from antimicrobial substance, tightly joined to the first surface of the said substrate, forming a uniform non-volatile antimicrobial coating on at least a region of the said first surface. When testing the product there is no loss of antimicrobial molecules from the said first surface in dry leaching testing conditions, in wet leaching conditions or both tests on the inhibition zone. The elastomeric product is characterised by fall in relative concentration of microbes on the said first surface by a value of at least log10 1 within a period of about 6 minutes. ^ EFFECT: increased duration of the protective effect and restricted transfer of microbes from the surface of the product to surrounding surfaces. ^ 26 cl, 1 dwg, 8 tbl |
