RESEARCH OF THE ANTIMICROBIAL PROPERTIES OF FIBROUS MATERIALS TREATED BY COMPOSITIONS BASED ON FLUOROPOLYMER LATEX

Abstract

The work discusses the research of antimicrobial properties of fabrics treated by compositions based on poly-2-perfluoropentoxytetrafluoropropyl acrylate, which imparts hydro-, oleophobicity to the fabric. To impart flame retardant properties to the material, a fire retardant agent (ammonium polyphosphate / Flamatic DM-3088) was added to its composition, and for antimicrobial properties polyhexamethylene guanidine hydrochloride (methacid) was added. Culture inoculation to determine the effectiveness of biocidal finishing was carried out by the agar diffusion method, Bacillus subtilis was chosen as the test object. As a result of the study, it was found that treatment of the fibrous material with a metacide both separately and as part of a composition inhibits the growth of microorganisms.
