Publication number: 20100272829Abstract: It is required to devise a way to reduce the amount of zinc pyrithione added to hair care products as an anti-dandruff agent so as to decrease stimulation to the ocular mucosa, and to reduce an influence on the environment of domestic wastewater, and a way to accelerate the decomposition of zinc pyrithione in sewage treatment facilities, rivers, lakes and ponds. Furthermore, zinc pyrithione used as an antifouling agent for ship-bottom paints is eluted from a coating film at a high rate and thus results in poor long-term antifouling effect, so that it is also required to devise a way to decrease the solubility thereof in seawater. These problems could be solved at once by an antibiotic composition obtained by adsorbing zinc pyrithione or a zinc pyrithione/zinc oxide composite compound to hydrous titanium oxide.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2008Publication date: October 28, 2010Inventor: Yasuhiro Hidaka
