ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITION, ANTIMICROBIAL MOLDING, SOLUTION CONTAINING ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITION, DETERGENT AND STRAW MAT USED AS SURFACE OF TATAMI MAT

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an antimicrobial composition that efficiently exhibits an antimicrobial action on many kinds of microorganisms and has no influence on the human body and the environment and an antimicrobial molding containing the antimicrobial composition. SOLUTION: The antimicrobial composition comprises two kinds selected only from imidazole-based organic antimicrobial agents and an inorganic antimicrobial agent. 2-(4-Thiazolyl)-1H-benzimidazole and methyl 2-benzimidazolecarbamate are used as the organic antimicrobial agents and silver-supporting zirconium phosphate and zinc oxide are used as inorganic antimicrobial agents. The antimicrobial composition is mixed with a resin material to form a sheetlike antimicrobial resin sheet. A remarkably wide antimicrobial spectrum is exhibited even at a low MIC (Minimum Inhibitory Concentration) value by the antimicrobial actions of the two kinds of imidazole-based organic antimicrobial agents themselves and the inorganic antimicrobial agent itself and the their synergistic effects.
