Abstract: Antiviral compositions, method of manufacturing such compositions and uses of the composition. The present composition is intended for use as an antiviral medicament for topical application on areas of the mammal skin or mucous membranes affected by a herpes virus, in particular herpes simplex virus. The composition comprises silver ions complexed with polyamine polymers, optionally in combination with other antiviral agent. By the present invention, herpes cold sores can be successfully treated or outbreaks thereof even prevented.

Abstract: Disinfection foam having low levels of alcohol, comprising at least water, foaming agent, and polymeric type silver ion source, and a method of manufacturing the same. The present antimicrobial foams are especially suitable for hand sanitizer foams, shaving foams, dry cleansing foams for full body, leave on shampoos, face cleansing foams and multipurpose dry cleaning.

Abstract: The invention concerns a polymeric antimicrobial composition, a method of producing the same and the uses thereof. The ionomer composition comprises an amine functional polymer compound reacted with silver halide, optionally together with a stabilizing component, such as an organic substance carrying a sulfonamide functional group. The ionomer composition can be obtained by reacting together (i) at least one polyamine and silver halide and optionally at least one organic stabilizer substance or; (ii) at least one polyamine, at least one non-halide silver salt or silver complex, hydrogen halide and/or alkaline metal halide salt and optionally at least one organic stabilizer substance. The present ionomer composition is suitable for use as an antimicrobial coating, antimicrobial finish, antimicrobial additive and as antimicrobial component for formation of new antimicrobial materials.

Abstract: The present invention concerns antimicrobial expandable polystyrene (EPS) beads, comprising as main antimicrobial agent metal ions selected from silver and copper and combinations thereof, which antimicrobial agent(s) may be either mixed into the polymer matrix or coated onto the beads. The invention also concerns a method for producing the coated form of these antimicrobial beads.

Abstract: An ungrounded type multilayer packaging with a reduced energy of electrostatic discharge for packaging used in a combustible environment. The packaging comprises a non-conductive multilayer packaging material containing at least one polymeric thermoplastic electrostatic dissipating layer, to give an electrostatic discharge energy attenuation of more than 40 dB.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polymer blend and a process for its preparation. The polymer blend contains A) a polymer of an olefin and an unsaturated carboxylic acid, wherein the amount of acid groups is 0.5–15 molar %, and B) a polyether block polymer made up of a polyether block and a polyamide or polyester block, the acid groups in polymer A and the polyether blocks in polymer B having at least partly coordinated alkali ions, and an alkali metal being present in an amount of approx. 0.02–3 millimols/gram of the polymer blend. The blend according to the invention has a good electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical properties.

Abstract: A covering material comprising a first layer, which forms the wearing layer of the structure and contains an ionomer, as well as a second layer next to the first layer. According to the invention, the first layer contains a wear-resistant and electrically conductive ionomer polyelectrolyte and the second layer is electrically conductive. The first layer comprises in particularan ionomer, which is a polymer of a co- or terpolymer of ethylene and acrylic or methacrylic acid, or any other known ionomer, and a block polyether, the polymer being ionically crosslinked with alkali and/or alkaline-earth and/or metal cations. The second layer forms the bottom layer of the structure, and it is made up of a polyolefin elastomer that has been rendered electrically conductive. The material according to the invention is suitable as covering for ESD applications.
