Abstract: An antibacterial cloth having an antibacterial imparting glass composition complexed therewith. The glass composition comprises 0.1-5.0% by weight of Ag2O in a composition containing 45-67 mol % of P2O5, 5-20 mol % of Al2O3, 1-22 mol % of one or ore selected from MgO, CaO and ZnO, and 1-20 mol % of B2O3. An antibacterial fiber contains the antibacterial imparting glass composition in a ratio of 0.1-2.5%.

Abstract: The present invention provides an antibacterial glass composition exhibiting high antibacterial performance with sufficiently sustaining antibacterial performance by adding a small amount of the antibacterial component, and an antibacterial polymer composition using the antibacterial glass composition. The present invention provides an antibacterial glass composition containing 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of Ag2O in a glass composition containing 30 to 60 mol % of P2O5, 1 to 15 mol % of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of K2O, Na2O and Li2O, 35 to 55 mol % of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of MgO, CaO and ZnO, and 0.01 to 3 mol % of one or more compounds selected from the group consisting of La2O3 and Y2O3.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are (1) cosmetic made with silver type anti-microbial water soluble glass in oily cosmetic composition of the cosmetic, and (2) a process for producing the cosmetic that is highly effective against bacteria and fungi, and that is safer to the skin. The cosmetic is characterized by letting silver type anti-microbial water soluble glass in oily cosmetic composition release slowly from oil phase of the cosmetic to the water phase of the cosmetic only when anti-bacterial agent contact with water in the cosmetic.

Abstract: There is provided an antibacterial fiber, an antibacterial twisted yarn and an antibacterial cloth which exhibits high durability to post-processing with water, detergent, staining or the like at a small added amount.

Abstract: An antibacterial property imparting glass composition is provided, which may be fixed in a form of, for example, a particle on the surface of a fiber substrate and/or dispersed and complexed in the fiber substrate. Such an antibacterial property imparting glass composition comprises 0.1 to 5.0% by weight of Ag2O in a composition containing 45-67 mol % of P2O5, 5 to 20 mol % of Al2O3, 1 to 40 mol % of 1 or 2 or more selected from MgO, CaO and ZnO, and 20 mol % or less of B2O3. An antibacterial fiber containing such an antibacterial property imparting glass composition at a ratio of, for example, 0.1 to 5.0% by weight shows high water resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and detergent resistance in antibacterial property.

Abstract: Ammonium nitrate powder 10 and aluminum hydroxide powder 39, both of which are flame-retardant materials, are blended and kneaded with a polymer material 41 which should serve as a matrix, to thereby obtain a compound 531. A polymer material obtained by molding such compound 531 by a predetermined molding process will have an excellent flame retardancy without being significantly modified in polymer properties thereof as compared with those before the flame-retardant material is compounded.

Abstract: The cosmetic product comprises soluble glass particles and liquid cosmetic base containing water. The soluble glass contains antibacterial metal ions selected from the group consisting of Ag.sup.+, Cu.sup.+, Cu.sup.2+ and Zn.sup.2+. The antibacterial ions contained are forming a solid solution with the components of soluble glass and elute along with the dissolution of the soluble glass skeletal network. The eluting rate of metallic ions is determined by the dissolving rate of the soluble glass and is not affected by the environmental concentration of alkaline metal ions, such as Na.sup.+.

Abstract: A cosmetic product is provided which comprises particles of soluble glass having an average particle size of 20 .mu.m or less which contains silver ions. The soluble glass has a rate of elusion of the silver ions in water of from 0.00001-50 mg per hour per gram of glass when the soluble glass has a particle size of 420-600 .mu.m and the water has a temperature of 20.degree. C. The silver ions provide an anti-bacterial and anti-mold effect for a prolonged period without skin irritation, thus insuring a high degree of safety.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a glass container by the steps of (a) providing a plunger with two portions, one portion having a sprayed metal coating of self-fluxing alloy and the second portion having a ceramic coating, (b) forming a lubrication carbon layer on surfaces of molds including a blank mold and a neck ring by periodically injecting flames of at least one kind of gaseous hydrocarbon having a carbon to hydrogen ratio more than 0.75, (c) supplying a gobbet of glass to the blank mold; (d) producing the parison from the gobbet of glass, using the plunger, the blank mold and the neck ring; and (e) blow-forming the parison to a glass container of a final configuration.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sheet which may be used in firing ceramic faced base plates, glass faced base plates and metal faced base plates. The sheet comprises a combustible sheet such as a pulp paper and a coating layer coated on at least one surface of the combustible sheet. The coating layer comprises a powder of a material with a high melting point and a powder of carbon which may be formed separately from the layer comprising the powder of a material having a high melting point. The coating layer comprising the powder of carbon effectively prevents shrinkage of the sheet during firing, and thus prevents adhesion between adjacent stacked base plates and between the base plates and the supporting base. The sheet of the present invention further provides a layer of a uniform breadth which prevents the formation of undulations and pin-holes in the base plates during firing.

Abstract: A sintered metallic composite material which comprisesA. sintered particles of a substrate metal, andB. at least about 1 percent by weight, based on the weight of the composite material, of particles of a glass-ceramic having a metallic coating layer being integrally bonded to the glass-ceramic body,Wherein said particles of glass-ceramic (b) are uniformly dispersed in the composite material and firmly retained therein through said metallic coating layer bonded to said substrate metal (a) in the sintered state.
