Abstract: A fiber treatment agent contains components (a) and (b). A fiber treated with the fiber treatment agent and a fiber fabric including the fiber are also provided. The component (a) an insoluble egg-shell membrane fine powder with a mean particle size of 0.1 to 10 ?m while the component (b) is a synthetic resin emulsion or a synthetic resin solution.

Abstract: An antimicrobial molding is prepared by mixing: an antimicrobial composition containing two organic antimicrobial agents selected solely from imidazole organic antimicrobial agent and an inorganic antimicrobial agent; and a curing material such as a thermoplastic resin, light-curing resin, resin cured by two-pack mixing to be formed as a sheet, film, multi-layer-structure and foamed article into a desired shape. Accordingly, a molding that contains the antimicrobial composition exhibiting significantly broad antimicrobial spectrum, negative skin irritation, high-level safety and extremely small influence on human body and environment, and efficiently achieves high antimicrobial effects can be easily obtained.

Abstract: A coating material contains at least one substance selected from the group consisting of water-soluble resin such as water-soluble acryl resin, resin emulsion such as acryl emulsion and solvent resin such as solution of urethane resin into a solvent (A); resin beads such as polyethylene beads (B); and at least one substance selected from the group consisting of soluble protein such as collagen and resin emulsion incompatible with the (A) such as ethylene-acryl copolymer (C). (A) improves adhesion with a base member, (B) improves heat sealability and (C) improves surface lubricity and anti-blocking properties. Further, water-soluble amine additive (D) may be added to improve adhesion with olefin base member.

Abstract: Natural organic impalpable powder is adhered to at least on a side in direct contact with the skin of a skin contact goods applied to skin. When the skin contact goods is, for instance, a sanitary goods having a surface material directly applied to the skin and an absorbing body covered with the surface material, the natural organic impalpable powder having an average particle size of less than 30 &mgr;m is adhered by processing base of the surface member with a treatment. The treatment includes the natural organic impalpable powder and at least one of dispersion medium selected from the group consisting of water, organic solvent, resin emulsion and resin aqueous solution. By the above arrangement, moisture inhalation and touch of the surface material in direct contact with the skin can be improved.

Abstract: Materials containing fine natural organic material particles are disclosed. As the fine particles, superfine silk fibroin particles are produced by a process comprising a first step of comminuting silk fibroin into coarse particles with dry mechanical comminuting means, a second step of comminuting the coarse silk fibroin particles into fine particles with dry mechanical comminuting means, and a third step of comminuting the fine silk fibroin particles into superfine particles with an average particle diameter of 10 .mu.m or below with dry mechanical comminuting means, the silk fibroin particles being beta-treated during or after at least one of the first to third comminuting steps. Specific examples of the material are films, sheets, paints, fiber treating materials, etc.
