Antimicrobial/antiviral coatings are applied to substrates such as fabrics by applying and then curing a coating composition. The coating composition includes at least one free radical-curable monomer, at least one free radical initiator, and either or both of certain phenolic and/or menthol compounds and certain non-free radical-curable ammonium compounds.

The present invention relates to a surfactant composition capable of making a liquid oil highly remain on the solid surface, which is a surfactant composition containing an anionic surfactant (A), a cationic surfactant (B), a liquid oil (C), and water, wherein the water constitutes a continuous phase; the following molar ratio R.sub.A is 0.25 or more and 0.60 or less; and the following molar ratio R.sub.b is 0.6 or more: R.sub.A: a molar ratio {(A)/[(A)+(B)]} of the amount of the anionic surfactant (A) to the total amount of the anionic surfactant (A) and the cationic surfactant (B) R.sub.b: a molar ratio {[(a1)+(b1)]/[(A)+(B)]} of the total amount of a branched-type anionic surfactant (a1) and a branched-type cationic surfactant (b1) to the total amount of the anionic surfactant (A) and the cationic surfactant (B).

A process of making a textile material antimicrobial includes a first process cycle including treating the textile material using a liquor application process that includes one or more antimicrobial agents, and subjecting the treated textile material to a heat treatment. The process also includes a second process cycle being performed after the first process cycle and including treating the textile material using a liquor application process that includes one or more antimicrobial agents, and drying the textile material to evaporate water in the textile material and curing the treated textile material after the water in the textile material has been evaporated by the drying.
