ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTIVIRAL FABRIC

Abstract

The present invention relates to a nontoxic antibacterial and antiviral fabric employed in the production of a variety of textiles used in a plurality of fields, particularly in the field of health.

Claims

1. An antibacterial and antiviral fabric which can be employed for obtaining a variety of textiles used in a plurality of fields, especially in the field of health, features antibacterial and antiviral properties, and also, has no toxicity as it does not contain metals included in the class of heavy metals, such as silver or the like, unlike the already existing products of the same kind, characterized in that the antibacterial and antiviral fabric comprises a solution containing H.sub.3BO.sub.3 (Boric acid) for providing antibacterial and antiviral effects.

2. An antibacterial and antiviral fabric according to the claim 1, characterized in that the solution contains an acidity regulator for providing a more effective antibacterial property through an increase in the level of acidity.

3. An antibacterial and antiviral fabric according to the claim 1, characterized in that the acidity regulatory used in the solution is preferably C.sub.6H.sub.7KO.sub.2 (Potassium sorbate).

4. A method for obtaining an antibacterial and antiviral fabric, characterized in that the method comprises the steps of: - mixing the equal amounts of H.sub.3BO.sub.3 (Boric acid) and C.sub.6H.sub.7KO.sub.2 (Potassium sorbate) with the same amount of distilled water under room temperature to prepare a solution, and - impregnating the prepared solution on the threads of the fabric desired to be provided with antibacterial and antiviral properties.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0010] The preferred alternatives of the present disclosure, which are mentioned in this detailed description, are only intended for providing a better understanding of the subject-matter, and therefore, should not be construed in any restrictive sense.

[0011] The present invention relates to a fabric developed for providing textiles used in a plurality of fields, particularly in the field of health, with antibacterial and antiviral properties. The said antibacterial and antiviral fabric of the present invention is impregnated with an antibacterial solution containing no metals belonging to the class of heavy metals, such as silver or the like, and thus, the toxic effects caused by heavy metals are avoided.

[0012] The solution impregnated on the threads of the antibacterial and antiviral fabric of the present disclosure contains, instead of heavy metals such as silver ion or the like, an acidity regulator for obtaining a more effective solution against microorganisms through an increase in the levels of H.sub.3BO.sub.3 (Boric acid) and acidity, and C.sub.6H.sub.7KO.sub.2 (Potassium sorbate) is preferably used as an acidity regulator.

[0013] The amounts of H.sub.3BO.sub.3 (Boric acid) and C.sub.6H.sub.7KO.sub.2 (Potassium sorbate) in the solution are the same, and the solution is prepared by mixing these ingredients with the same level of distilled water under room temperature. The solution thus prepared is impregnated on the threads of the fabric desired to be provided with antibacterial and antiviral properties.

[0014] By using H.sub.3BO.sub.3 (Boric acid) instead of silver ion, an antibacterial and antiviral fabric preventing the formation of microorganisms without showing any toxic effects which will adversely affect the human health is obtained, as well as the boron reserves, which have a strategic significance, are put to good use and transformed into a product with a high added value.
