Abstract: A copolymer which yields a coated film with high transparency when formed into a coated film, and adds a regenerable antibacterial effect, as well as a resin composition containing the same. The copolymer includes: a repeating unit represented by the following formula (I) (wherein R1 represents a hydrogen atom or a methyl group; R2 represents a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms; R11 to R14 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group, provided that at least 2 of R11 to R14 represent an alkyl group, and that R11 and R12, or R13 and R14 can bond together to form a ring; X represents —O— or —NR2—; R20 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group; Y represents a halogen atom; and n represents 0 or 1), and a repeating unit having a crosslinkable functional group.

Abstract: The present invention provides a construction material preservative for wood and the like that retains preservative effects over a long period of time and continuously demonstrates those effects even at low concentrations even when using in combination with an insecticide. The construction material preservative contains a water-soluble silver-amino acid complex composed of 1 molar part of silver and 1 to 3 molar parts of amino acid.

Abstract: A method for reducing irritation caused by an isothiazolone compound represented by formula (1) by converting the isothiazolone compound represented by formula (1) into a zinc salt.

Abstract: A method for reducing irritation caused by an isothiazolone compound represented by formula (1) by converting the isothiazolone compound represented by formula (1) into a zinc salt, where R1 and R2 each independently represents a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or an alkyl group of 1 to 20 carbon atoms, and R1 and R2 may bind to each other to form a substituted or unsubstituted carbocycle.
