2. Description of the Related Art Melting glass is a general term for glass whose composition is adjusted in consideration of the physical and chemical properties of the glass so as to have a controlled melting rate.
Those containing copper, zinc compounds, etc., said silver, at a constant rate determined over an arbitrary period of several hours to several years,
It is known to be able to elute copper and zinc ions. And the eluted silver, copper and zinc ions are
It is adsorbed on the cell wall of bacteria or microorganisms or concentrated in cells to inhibit the growth of bacteria or microorganisms by a so-called oligodynamic action, thereby exhibiting an antibacterial action. This dissolvable glass is used in all fields where an antibacterial agent is used, and is also compounded with synthetic resin products, textile products and the like. Composite methods have been developed in various ways, such as kneading from a material to produce a product, and attaching an antibacterial soluble glass to the product by post-processing.

[0003] However, the dissolution of the antibacterial agent in this complex process,
In some cases, a loss occurs, and the effect is already weakened during use. In some cases, the effect is lost in a shorter period of time than expected due to severe loss during the use process. In order to solve this, for example, it is necessary to improve the durability against hot water, acid, alkali, bleaching, light, mechanical force, and the like. Specifically, when an antibacterial agent is combined with another material, there are various steps. For example, the environment for dyeing is pH 1-3, temperature 80-1.
The treatment is performed at 30 ° C. for a period of 30 to 90 minutes, the bleaching environment is pH 2 to 4, the temperature is 70 to 100 ° C., and the time is 30 to 90 minutes.
Bleaching agents such as sodium chlorite are commonly used. Therefore, antibacterial agents for minimizing losses in these steps and sufficiently exhibiting an antibacterial effect at the time of use have been required.

Here, the key points of the composition are ZnO for improving antibacterial properties and acid resistance and A for improving acid resistance.
That is, a small amount of B 2 O 3 was added so as to contain as much l 2 O 3 as possible to make the glass structure of P 2 O 5 —ZnO—Al 2 O 3 firm. Moreover, in order to supplement the weak antibacterial activity of ZnO, a small amount of Ag 2 O is added within a range that does not cause discoloration.

The reasons for limiting the respective composition ranges are as follows. If P 2 O 5 is 55 mol% or more in the glass composition, hygroscopicity occurs at the time of pulverization, and it becomes impossible to pulverize due to secondary aggregation. On the other hand, if it is 40 mol% or less, Al 2 O 3 ,
This is because unmelting or devitrification of ZnO occurs and the quality becomes unstable. When ZnO is 45 mol% or more, unmelting or devitrification of ZnO occurs, and when it is 35 mol% or less, acid resistance and antibacterial effect are reduced. Al 2 O 3
If it is 15 mol% or more, unmelting or devitrification of Al 2 O 3 occurs, and if it is 5 mol% or less, the acid resistance decreases. On the other hand, if the content of B 2 O 3 is at least 10 mol%, the acid resistance will be reduced, and if it is at most 1 mol%, unmelting and devitrification of Al 2 O 3 and ZnO will occur. Ag 2 O is preferably contained from the viewpoint of antibacterial properties, but if added, the glass composition 100
It is necessary to be 0.01% by weight to 1.0% by weight based on parts by weight. When the content of Ag 2 O is 1.0% by weight or more, discoloration occurs. In particular, discoloration is likely to occur due to chlorine at the time of drawing of yarn by wet heat, ironing of cloth and bleaching, and 0.01% by weight. %, The effect of supplementing the weak antibacterial activity of ZnO is not substantially changed.
