PURPOSE:To perform fungal controlling treatment assuredly effective over a long period of time by incorporating a synthetic fiber or plastic with an antifungal agent smaller in granular size than conventional agents, or by applying or adding a solvent-dispersed antifungal agent to a material to be treated. CONSTITUTION:An antifungal agent [e.g. 2-4-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole] is ground to <=3mum in size through dry grinding process using e.g. an airflow pulverizer or wet grinding process, e.g. using a medium, and the resulting granules (or powder) is directly incorporated in a synthetic fiber or plastic; alternatively, the granules (powder) is dispersed in a solvent (e.g. ethylene glycol, liquid paraffin) and added or applied to an object, thus performing the objective antifungal treatment. Pulverization of the antifungal agent will prevent the drop-off of its effectiveness in adding to plastics etc., and enable its addition to fine synthetic fibers, thereby the present antifungal method can preferably be applied to water-related utensils for e.g. bathrooms or antifungal clothing covers, etc. |
