MANUFACTURING METHOD FOR FAR-INFRARED EMITTING AND STERILIZING MATERIAL, FAR-INFRARED EMITTING AND STERILIZING MATERIAL MANUFACTURED BY THE SAME METHOD, AND METHOD FOR USING THE FAR-INFRARED EMITTING AND STERILIZING MATERIAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain far-infrared rays and an minus ion effect, and a sterilization and antifouling effect of photocatalytic particulates by making the photocatalytic particulates adhere to globes obtained by crushing Tenshoseki and/or tourmaline. SOLUTION: The Tenshoseki and/or tourmaline are crushed into the globes having a diameter of≤0.2 mm and loaded with a binder to granulate them into globes having a diameter of about 2-20 mm, which are baked at 1,000-1,200°C and then made to adhere to the surfaces of the photocatalytic particulates. Subsequently, heat treatment is carried out to fix the particulates on the surfaces of the globes. A far-infrared emitting and sterilizing material is mainly used so as to be immersed in a bathtub.
