Definitions
- the invention relates to plastic products that contain a luminophore with antimicrobial properties and a plastic, and articles that contain these
- Plastic products include and / or are made from it.
- microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. Many of these microorganisms are useful or even necessary. Nevertheless, in addition to the more harmless representatives, there are also disease-causing or even deadly bacteria, fungi and viruses.
- Microorganisms can be transmitted through daily contact with other people and contact with objects that others have used.
- the antimicrobial finish of surfaces is particularly important in hygiene-sensitive areas.
- Plastic composition shows an antimicrobial effect.
- the action of the composition is based on the release of the antimicrobial agent from the surface of the plastic composition into the environment. Even if the release rate is intended to be low, the release of the antimicrobial agent can endanger people and the environment.
- WO 2009/013016 A1 describes antimicrobial plastic products which contain silver orthophosphate or particles of partially reduced silver orthophosphate as the antimicrobially active component.
- the antimicrobial activity is believed to be due to the release of surface silver cations.
- the plastic used should have a low silver release plateau in order to avoid toxic effects. Even if the release rate is intended to be low, the release of the antimicrobial agent can endanger humans and the environment.
- titanium dioxide particles or other semiconductor particles with a matching band gap can produce antimicrobial agents when exposed to light. This exploits the fact that these particles generate radicals from atmospheric oxygen and (air) moisture under the influence of light with a wavelength that matches the band gap of the particles. These radicals can then diffuse to the bacteria or viruses and render them harmless through radical reactions. Here, the radicals generated represent the antimicrobial agents. Here, too, antimicrobial agents are released, which pose a risk to humans and environment can lead. Furthermore, titanium dioxide particles have recently been classified as "probably human carcinogenic", especially when inhaled.
- dyes can produce antimicrobial agents. These are dyes that, when exposed to light of a suitable wavelength, can assume an electronically excited state by absorbing the energy of a photon. This energy can then be transferred from the dye molecule to a triplet oxygen molecule ( 3 Ü2) when it comes into contact with atmospheric oxygen, which then changes to an electronically excited singlet state.
- the resulting singlet oxygen ( 1 Ü2) is a strong oxidizing agent that can kill bacteria or viruses if they come into contact with them.
- the generated singlet oxygen ( 1 02) represents the antimicrobial agent.
- polycyclic, aromatic dyes are used for this, which are more resistant to oxidation than other organic dyes. Again, a chemical effect on contact with the microorganisms is used to kill them.
- the semiconductor particles and dyes mentioned above have at least two major disadvantages when embedded in a plastic matrix.
- the active species that they can generate must leave the plastic matrix in order to come into contact with the microorganisms, which they can then kill. In this way, a chemical and not a purely physical path is taken again, on which the microorganisms are then killed. Therefore, such materials fall under the Biocidal Products Regulation (Regulation (EU), No. 528/2012 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 May 2012 in the current version of 2019).
- the second disadvantage is the simple fact that such materials, when embedded in a plastic matrix, require diffusion processes to generate the antimicrobial agents.
- 3 Ü2 must diffuse into the plastic matrix in order to reach the dye and 1 Ü2 must in turn diffuse out of the plastic matrix in order to be able to interact with the microorganisms.
- the radicals generated by the semiconductor materials here, in addition to oxygen, water must also diffuse through the matrix.
- the antimicrobial agents i.e. the radicals generated, then chemically interact/react with the plastic matrix and are therefore ineffective for killing the microorganisms.
- the plastic matrix is damaged as a result. It is also known to use physical methods and thus to get by without antimicrobial agents.
- UV radiation in medicine or in hygiene, for example to disinfect water, gases or surfaces.
- UV radiation has long been used in drinking water treatment to reduce the number of potentially pathogenic microorganisms in the water.
- UV-C radiation also referred to as UVC radiation
- UV-C radiation in the wavelength range between 100 nm and 280 nm is preferably used here.
- the use of electromagnetic radiation with different wavelengths should take into account the different absorption of the different proteins, the amino acids or nucleic acids contained in microorganisms, tissues or cells (eg in DNA or RNA) as well as peptide bonds between the individual acids.
- DNA/RNA absorbs electromagnetic radiation well within the wavelength range between 200 nm and 300 nm and particularly well between 250 nm and 280 nm, so that this radiation is particularly suitable for inactivating DNA/RNA.
- Pathogenic microorganisms viruses, bacteria, yeasts, molds, etc.
- duration and intensity of the radiation can therefore be inactivated with such radiation.
- Irradiation can destroy the structure of DNA or RNA.
- metabolically active cells can be inactivated and/or their ability to reproduce can be eliminated.
- the advantage of exposure to UV light is that the microorganisms cannot develop any resistance to it.
- these physical methods require special equipment and usually have to be repeated regularly by trained personnel, which makes it difficult for these methods to be used widely.
- phosphor particles are used with which electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths above UV light, in particular visible light or infrared light, can be converted into electromagnetic radiation with a shorter wavelength, so that the emission of UV-C radiation can be achieved by the individual phosphor particles .
- Phosphors that show an up-conversion could achieve an antimicrobial effect by means of UV-C radiation without generating antimicrobial active ingredients.
- the disadvantages outlined above, which are associated with antimicrobial agents, could be overcome with suitable phosphors.
- WO 2009/064845 A2 describes a composition for converting electromagnetic energy into UV-C radiation or electromagnetic radiation of a shorter wavelength, the composition comprising: at least one phosphor capable of converting an initial electromagnetic energy (A) into a to convert different electromagnetic energy (B), wherein the different electromagnetic energy (B) comprises UV-C, X-ray or gamma radiation; and an organic or inorganic medium containing the phosphor.
- Plastic resins among others, are described as organic media.
- the concept of using phosphors that have the property of up-conversion and emit UV-C radiation and are therefore intended to have a sterilizing effect is disclosed in principle in WO 2009/064845 A2.
- WO 2009/064845 A2 does not represent an executable teaching, but is purely conceptual. In particular, no concrete example is given. Furthermore, it has been shown that the “phosphors” which, according to WO 2009/064845 A2, are to be produced at a temperature of 1800° C. to 2900° C. are in reality amorphous and glass-like products which do not exhibit any up-conversion. In addition, of the numerous UV phosphors described, only a few are potentially capable of emitting UV radiation in a wavelength (UV-C radiation) such that an antimicrobial effect is even conceivable.
- UV-C radiation UV-C radiation

- the person skilled in the art is familiar with the physical interactions of light with a material and its material surface. Depending on the material and its material surface, a variety of effects occur when the light hits it. Some of the incident light is absorbed, some is reflected and possibly also scattered. Light can also be first absorbed and then emitted again. In the case of opaque, semi-transparent or translucent materials, the light can also penetrate through the body (transmission). The material can be transparent or translucent. In some cases, the light is even polarized or diffracted at the surface.

- FIG. 3 Cultivability of B. subtilis after incubation on a plastic product (foil) with 5% by weight (based on the total mass of the plastic product) CaLi 2 Si0 4 :Pr 3+ ,Na + (1%) in the exposed and darkened state.
- B. subtilis was incubated for 0 h, 1 h, and 4 h at room temperature with and without light. The subsequent cultivation of the cells on CASO agar took place for 24 ⁇ 1 h at 30 °C. The figure shows a representative photograph.
- the transmission measurements were determined using a "Specord 200 Plus" UV/VIS double-beam spectrometer from Analytik Jena. An internal wavelength calibration is carried out with a holmium oxide filter. The samples were irradiated with monochromatized light from a deuterium (UV range) or a tungsten-halogen lamp (visible range). The spectral bandwidth is 1.4 nm. The monochromatized light is divided into a measurement channel and a reference channel and enables direct measurement against a reference sample. The radiation transmitted through the sample is detected and processed by a photodiode. The measurements were made in transmission mode. The measurement range was 190 to 1100 nm with an increment of 1 nm. The measurement speed was 10 nm/s, which corresponds to an integration time of 0.1 s.

- BaY2Sl30io:Pr 3+ manufactured according to the following specification: 2.1273 g (10.7800 mmol) BaCO3, 1.9828 g (33.0000 mmol) S1O2, 2.4839 g (11.0000 mmol) and 0.0187 g (0.0183 mmol) RGQOII were dissolved in acetone in mixed in an agate mortar. This prepared mixture was calcined at 1400°C for 6 hours under CO atmosphere to obtain the product.
- Tests were carried out on Bacillus subtilis, which is registered in the DVGW (German Gas and Gas Industry Association).
- worksheet W 294 "UV devices for disinfection in the water supply" used for biodosimetric testing of UV systems.
- a gram-positive spore-forming bacterium it is particularly insensitive to UV radiation and is therefore well suited as a "worst case” for testing the antimicrobial effect of UV radiation.
- E. coli is a gram-negative aerobic bacterium that is predominant in the human intestinal tract and is therefore a typical indicator of faecal contamination. Contamination of other tissues with E. coli often leads to infectious diseases, such as infections in the urogenital tract.
- the antimicrobial effect of the phosphors on the test organisms B. subtilis and E. coli was checked using the agar plate test.
- test organisms Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii (DSM 347, ATCC 6633) and Escherichia coli (DSM 1116; ATCC 9637). The test organisms were used in suspension at a final concentration of 10 7 cells/ml.
- the bacterial suspensions were prepared by diluting precultures of the respective bacterial strain. Diluted in sterile deionized water.
- the precultures of the test organisms were prepared in sterilized casein peptone soybean peptone (CASO) broth.
- the preculture of B. subtilis was incubated for 16 ⁇ 1 h at 30 °C with constant shaking in a shaking water bath.
- the preculture of E. coli was placed at 36 °C in a thermally insulated Erlenmeyer flask with a magnetic stirring bar incubated with constant stirring at 350 rpm.
- the cell titer of the precultures was determined microscopically using a haemocytometer (counting chamber according to Thoma).
- agar plate test For the agar plate test, 1.0 ml of the bacterial suspension with 10 7 cells/ml was evenly distributed on a sterile CASO agar plate in order to ensure confluent coverage of the nutrient agar. The bacterial suspension applied was equilibrated on the nutrient agar for 300 ⁇ 30 s at room temperature (22 ⁇ 2 °C) before the phosphors were applied in the center.
- calcium carbonate and copper oxide were applied centered on the nutrient plates as negative and positive references. It is known that copper oxides have a growth-inhibiting effect, while calcium carbonates must not exhibit any growth-inhibiting effect.
- the feed plates were incubated for 24 ⁇ 1 h at room temperature under constant lighting. The same approach was also incubated in the dark.
- Incubation under illumination and in the dark is intended to indicate the up-conversion of the phosphors, provided a growth-inhibiting effect is only present in the illuminated state.
- a growth-inhibiting effect is given when a zone without bacterial colony growth develops concentrically around and on the accumulated phosphor particles or reference particles on the nutrient agar. There is no growth-inhibiting effect if bacterial colony growth is detected on the nutrient agar around and on the accumulated phosphor particles or reference particles. After incubation under illumination after 24 ⁇ 1 h at room temperature, a growth-inhibiting effect of the phosphor CaLi 2 SiC> 4 :Pr 3+ ,Na + (1%) for B. subtilis and E. coli could be detected. No growth-inhibiting effect could be detected around the other phosphors (Table 3). For all phosphors, no bacterial colony growth could be detected around and on the accumulated phosphor particles under darkened incubation conditions.
- the calcium carbonate reference showed no zone of bacterial growth inhibition either in the light or in the dark.
- the reference with copper oxide shows a concentric zone without bacterial colony growth both in the light and in the dark.
- the phosphors also showed no genuine bacterial contamination.
- Plastic product the phosphor CaLi 2 SiC> 4 :Pr 3+ ,Na + (1%) is incorporated into plastics.
- thermoplastic compound for producing the mixtures for the thermoplastic test specimens
- Premixes of 2.5 kg each, consisting of the corresponding plastic (PE, PP) and the phosphor were weighed out together.
- the phosphor was added in the specified proportions by mass, based on the overall composition of the premix (specified in % or equivalent to % by weight). In each case, a comparison mixture without a phosphor was considered. Mixtures with 1% and with 5% phosphor were produced.
- the resulting premix was then added to the Brabender metering unit and fed to the Leistritz ZSE27MX-44D twin-screw extruder (manufacturer Leistritz Extrusionstechnik GmbH) via a screw conveyor for processing.
- the respective compound was processed at a defined speed (rpm) and a defined temperature setting.
- the plastic strand was then granulated using a 3.20 m water bath to cool the strand.
- the temperature profiles of the respective plastics were selected according to the technical data sheets. The temperatures, speeds and pressures for the various plastics can be found in Table 1.
- the plastics are used as a powder if possible (e.g. by prior grinding) so that the phosphor can be mixed in well.
- 2.3.1.2 Manufacture of plastic products in the form of PE-based blown film or
- a Brabender Lab Station of type 815801 from Brabender GmbH & Co KG was used to produce the films, and the material was fed to the die with the associated mini-extruder from Brabender, type: 625249.120. Either a 15 cm wide slot die for cast film was fitted or a blown film head with a diameter of 10 cm was used. The cast films were then wound up on the Brabender device Univex Take off type: 843322 and the blown films on the Brabender device type: 840806. The conditions for film production were taken from the technical data sheets for the plastics processed and all films were produced at a speed of 18 m/min. The foils obtained were cut to a size of 2.5 cm x 4 cm for carrying out the transfer method (see 2.3.2). With this method, the plastic products were processed into foils, which were previously produced as compounds with and without phosphors according to 2.3.1.1.
- the aforementioned speed mixer was used to produce the UPES-based plastic product, and the components listed in Table 4, including the phosphor, were incorporated one after the other as follows.
- the main component of the plastic product i.e. UPES (see Table 1), is placed in the speed mixer pot and the catalyst (0.98% by weight based on the total mass of the mixture) is mixed in for 15 s at 2500 rpm.
- the accelerator 0.29% by weight based on the total mass of the mixture was then also mixed in for 15 s at 2500 rpm.
- the phosphor according to the invention (0% by weight, 1% by weight or 5% by weight, based on the total mass of the mixture) was added directly to the UPES before addition of the catalyst and accelerator and this mixture is then mixed for 60 s at 2500 rpm. Only then were the catalyst and accelerator added.
- the mixtures were poured into aluminum bowls with a diameter of 10 cm. These aluminum bowls were previously preheated to 50° C. on a hotplate for 5 minutes and remain on this hotplate during filling and for a further 2 minutes afterwards.
- the filled aluminum bowls are then stored at room temperature for 24 h and then placed in an oven at 80° C. for 5 h.
- the resulting plastic products were removed from the oven and placed in the hood at room temperature for a further 24 hours. Only then was the antimicrobial effect of the resulting plastic products with or without a phosphor examined.
- the compounds produced were smooth plates (injection mold: double plates smooth, company: AXXICON) with a size of 6 cm x 6 cm and a thickness of 2 mm.
- the injection molding conditions were taken from the technical data sheet of the PP.
- Plastic products based on PP containing 1% and 5% phosphor were compared with one without phosphor, which were previously manufactured as compounds according to 2.3.1.1.
- Bacillus subtilis subsp. spizizenii (DSM 347, ATCC 6633). 1 ml of a B. subtilis suspension with a final concentration of 10 7 cells/mL was evenly distributed on a sterile CASO agar plate to ensure confluent coverage of the nutrient agar. The bacterial suspension applied was equilibrated on the nutrient agar for 300 ⁇ 30 s at room temperature (22 ⁇ 2 °C). The bacterial suspensions were prepared by diluting precultures of the respective bacterial strain. Diluted in sterile deionized water. The precultures of the test organisms were prepared in sterilized CASO broth. The preculture of B.
- subtilis was incubated for 16 ⁇ 1 h at 30 °C with constant shaking in a shaking water bath.
- the cell titer of the precultures was determined microscopically using a haemocytometer (counting chamber according to Thoma).
- the aim of the transfer method is to simulate the antimicrobial effect of the plastic surface under realistic conditions on a dry, inanimate surface.
- the plastic products obtained as described above were pressed onto a nutrient agar plate inoculated confluently with B. subtilis with a defined weight of 90 ⁇ 1 g for 60 ⁇ 5 s. This step transferred the bacteria semi-dry to the surface of the plastic products.
- the plastic articles were then placed in an empty Petri dish with the inoculated side up and incubated under lighting at room temperature for 0 h, 1 h, 2 h and 4 h.
- the foils were also incubated with the inoculated side in the dark at room temperature for 0 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h.
- a growth-inhibiting effect can be checked in the transfer method by a decrease in the culturability of B. subtilis.
- the results are summarized in Table 4. A representative picture of the results is shown in FIG.3.
- the culturability of the adherent bacteria on the surface of the plastic products shows a significant reduction in proliferation with increasing incubation time.
- the phosphor CaLi 2 Si0 4 :Pr 3+ ,Na + (1%) causes a significant reduction in the cultivability of ß. subtilis compared to the blank (plastic article without phosphor) and the plastic articles incubated in the dark. This reduction can already be measured after 1 h of incubation under constant lighting.
- the decrease in culturability increases up to the incubation time of 4 hours with constant lighting.
- the plastic products incubated in the dark show no reduction in culturability over the incubation period of 4 hours.
