Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to metal oxides having binding properties, far-infrared radiation, and antistatic properties, resin-based polymers having binding properties, and antistatic properties.
Deodorizing, anti-bactericidal, and anti-bacterial properties obtained by coating mats and other mats with a ceramic coating agent consisting of an inorganic filler that has bactericidal properties, gas adsorption properties, and gas decomposition properties.
The present invention relates to mats and other mats used in health-promoting bedding and other products that have far-infrared radiation and antistatic properties.

[Prior Art] Conventional bedding objects such as mats, such as bed mats, futons, carpets, mats, etc., are made by sewing, etc., into desired shapes using various mats and other bedding objects. Or, they were formed by filling the inside of a bag such as a mat with an elastic material such as cotton or rubber.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] Conventional bedding and other mats use various types of mats and other mats, or use an elastic material such as cotton or rubber inside the bag of the mat. The main purpose of its use is to prevent stains on mattresses, bed mats, etc., and to prevent stains on bed mats, bed mats, etc., and to prevent dirt on bed mats, mattresses, etc. Regarding the purpose of sleeping on the body and the carpets, mats, etc., it was necessary to prevent stains on floors, tatami mats, etc. and to ensure heat retention.

In this way, conventional mats and other mats only have functions that correspond to their specific purpose, such as deodorizing, antibacterial, far-infrared radiation, and electrostatic properties. It was not possible to achieve preventive properties.

For example, with regard to deodorizing and antibacterial (sterilizing) properties, in hot and humid environments such as summer, the inside of bedding when sleeping becomes hot and humid, and mats and other bedding in particular are susceptible to sweat from the body. This not only causes unpleasant odors and the propagation of mold and other various germs, making the body stuffy and uncomfortable, but also absorbs moisture and loses elasticity, which is a contributing factor to the growth of mold, etc. Met.

Particularly during the rainy season, it is not possible to dry the mats in the sunlight, which not only damages mats and other mats but also has a negative impact on the body.

In addition, in cases such as elderly people who are bedridden, it is difficult to frequently change bedding objects such as mats, so the foul odor emitted from mats and other bedding objects can be severe and may be harmful to not only nurses but also nurses. It was too much for him to bear.

Furthermore, since mats and other mats are used every day, the odor remains on the mat and accumulates as the day passes, making the person feel more uncomfortable each time they go to sleep.

Therefore, in the past, bedding objects such as mattresses were replaced as appropriate whenever the odor increased, but it was not possible to remove the odor that remained attached to bedding objects such as mattresses and pet mats.

Furthermore, since carpets and other carpets do not have antibacterial properties, mold, dust mites, etc. are likely to grow there, making it difficult to keep them clean throughout the seasons.

For this reason, even when mats and other mats are used for a long period of time, they do not emit any strange odors and do not allow the growth of various bacteria, dust mites, etc., making them comfortable to use and wear. There is a strong desire to develop mats and other mats for health-promoting bedding and other products that have excellent bactericidal properties, far-infrared radiation, and antistatic properties.

[Summary of the Invention The present invention has been made in response to the above-mentioned demands,

Ozone, which is generated from metal ions such as copper or silver ions, adsorbs the gas (odor) and immediately decomposes it.

That is, this deodorizing effect is achieved by decomposing odor adsorbed on the active surface of the coating film by active oxygen.

As described above, the ceramic coating agent 3 constituting the present invention adsorbs all kinds of odors and decomposes them with metal ions consisting of copper ions or silver ions, so its gas (odor) decomposition ability deteriorates over a long period of time. There's nothing to do.

In particular, due to the action of titanium oxide, the deodorizing power can be maintained for a long time without deteriorating.

Therefore, by using the floor covering 1 of the present invention in places where deodorization and deodorization are required, desired deodorization and deodorization effects can be easily obtained.

This is the opposite of static electricity, and the generation of static charges can be prevented.

Therefore, when used as a mat, it can be used extremely conveniently.

In addition to the above-mentioned effects, ultrafine aluminum oxide particles have a strong property of being positively charged in contrast to other solid components contained in the ceramic coating agent 3 of the present invention.
In the solution of the composition, it forms stable aggregates with solid components and has the effect of stabilizing the composition for a long period of time.

Furthermore, the mat 1 of the present invention retains its texture, does not impair its breathability, and shows almost no change in washability compared to an untreated mat.

[Effects of the Invention] By being configured as described above, the present invention can achieve the effects described below.

In other words, the bedding of the present invention can immediately deodorize in a hot and humid environment, even if the inside of the bedding becomes hot and humid while sleeping and foreign odors are generated due to sweating from the body. .

Furthermore, since the present invention has excellent antibacterial (sterilizing) properties, mold, mites, lice, and other various microorganisms and germs do not propagate within the mat, allowing it to be used cleanly and comfortably.

Furthermore, since the present invention is an ideal far-infrared radiator, it can increase the heat retention effect to prevent cold in various parts of the body, and can be conveniently used especially in winter.

At the same time, it has excellent moisture absorption and breathability, making it ideal for bedding and other mats.

Therefore, the mats and other mats used in the bedding and other products of the present invention do not emit any strange odors, even when used by a bedridden person or when used for a long period of time due to illness. Mats and other mats for health-promoting bedding and other items that do not allow the growth of germs and are comfortable to wear, have excellent deodorizing properties, antibacterial properties, and far-infrared radiation.
