AN ANTIMICROBIAL SILVER HALIDE COMPOSITION

摘要

This invention relates to a composition comprising at least 50 % water, silver halide particles and a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the composition does not substantially gel or solidify at 25 degrees C; is substantially free of organic solvents; and exhibits antimicrobial activity upon drying. The composition may further comprise a hydrophobic binder or a crosslinker for the hydrophilic polymer.
