Abstract: The invention relates to a filter material for filtering a fluid which filter material comprises fibers and metallic silver particles, wherein the silver particles are fixed in the filter material by having a rough surface structure caught in the fibers.

Abstract: The invention concerns a thixotropic composition comprising a microcrystalline cellulose, a swelling or water binding agent, a starch glycolate, a solvent and carboxymethyl cellulose or its alkaline salt or its alkaline earth metal salt, wherein the swelling or water binding agent is a phyllosilicate, wherein the solvent comprises water.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antimicrobial layer material comprising a layer with a particulate biocidal active ingredient and, on top of that, a layer as transport control layer, wherein the transport control layer is depositable or has been deposited in an afterglow PE-CVD method. The invention further relates to a substrate coated with such an antimicrobial layer material, to the use of a plasma-polymeric layer deposited in an afterglow PE-CVD method as transport control layer for a particulate biocidal active ingredient, and to a method of producing an antimicrobial layer material and to a method of producing a substrate comprising an antimicrobial layer material.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antimicrobial and preferably non-cytotoxic coating material and to use of said coating material.

Abstract: The Invention relates to a body care product containing porous particles made of metal containing silver and having an average diameter size of between 1 and 100 ?m.

Abstract: The invention relates to an antimicrobial and preferably non-cytotoxic coating material and to use of said coating material.
