ABSTRACT:
Composition of an antimicrobial agent and an antioxidant having improved antimicrobial activity compared to the antimicrobial agent alone. The preferred environment of the invention is a composition of a thermoplastic resin, an antioxidant, and an antimicrobial agent, the latter two being compatible with the resin. The resin composition can contain other usual additives, and can be melt processed at an elevated temperature to form articles such as films or fibers having improved antimicrobial activity. A method for improving the efficacy of an antimicrobial agent by combining it with an antioxidant is disclosed. A method for melt-processing a resin composition containing an antimicrobial material is also disclosed, wherein the resin composition includes an antioxidant. The inventors have thus discovered and solved the problem of oxidation of an antimicrobial composition, particularly a resin composition containing an antimicrobial agent, which arises when the composition is processed at elevated temperatures, as are typically encountered when forming a fiber or film of the composition.
