Abstract: This invention relates to a liquid antimicrobial composition comprising: (a) water, (b) a water-soluble polymer, and (c) at least one water-soluble antimicrobial; as well as to an item of clothing, a curtain, a blind, an item of bedding, wallpaper or laundry product comprising the water-soluble polymer and the at least one water-soluble antimicrobial. This invention also relates to a method of preparing the liquid antimicrobial composition comprising the step of mixing water, a water-soluble polymer, and at least one aqueous solution of a water-soluble antimicrobial.

Abstract: This invention relates to an antimicrobial master batch polymer composition comprising: (a) a thermoplastic alkyl polymer, and (b) an antimicrobial; as well as to a polymer composition comprising the antimicrobial master batch polymer composition and a thermoplastic alkyl polymer. This invention also relates to a fabric or moulded product comprising the polymer composition. In addition, the invention relates to a method of making the antimicrobial master batch polymer composition, comprising the steps of: (a) mixing the thermoplastic alkyl polymer powder with the antimicrobial powder, (b) melting the mixture, and (c) cooling the mixture.
