Release time:2019-11-21

Antibacterial sanitary finish


On an autumn day in August, it was still horribly hot. Often sweating, sweat secreted contains a small amount of protein, easy to adhere to the skin and clothing to breed bacteria, many people will choose anti-bacteria products. Speaking of antimicrobial, what is antimicrobial? What do antibacterial finishing agents mean?


Antimicrobial: is a general term, including bactericide, bactericide, disinfectant, bacteriostasis, mildew, preservative, etc. The process of killing or impeding the growth, reproduction and activity of microflora by chemical or physical means.

Development and application of antimicrobial agents


In the 1960s, textiles were mostly made with organic antimicrobials; With the successful development of inorganic antibacterial agents in 1984, the rapid development of antibacterial finishing makes antibacterial agents not only used in fibers and textiles, but also used in plastics, building materials and other products.

At present, we should choose suitable antimicrobial agents around the safety and comfort of application and the durability of performance. As people's environmental protection consciousness enhancement, natural more and more of the agent that fight bacterium to cause the attention of people, such as chitosan, bacteria resistant mechanism for molecular amino adsorption of bacteria, and cell wall surface anion binding, prevent cell wall biosynthesis, antibacterial effect, so as to achieve the natural is still in its infancy stage of the agent that fight bacterium, most of the market is given priority to with series of inorganic antibacterial agent and organic system, technology is relatively mature.
