Antibacterial Performance Evaluation: Antibacterial and Odor-Control Finishing
[Test Specimens] Dyed fabrics (cotton fabric and lightweight PET fabric)
[Application Method] Pad application

Additive	Concentration
MK-F-900Ag	3.0
Binder-U-30NP	1.0
Ficoat E	0.1

(%soln.)
Padding (100%) ⇒ drying (105°C until fully dry) ⇒ curing
Curing conditions (cotton: 130°C × 2 min; PET: 150°C × 1 min)

[Test Method]
Measurement method: JIS L 1902:2015, Testing for antibacterial activity and efficacy on textile products (quantitative test)
Test organism: Staphylococcus aureus NBRC 1273
Laundering method: JIS L 1930 (using JAFE standard detergent)
Acceptance criterion: antibacterial activity value of at least 2.2, demonstrating antibacterial odor-control performance (JTETC standard)

[Test Results]

Treated Fabric		Antibacterial Activity Value
Cotton Fabric	0 Washes	6.1
	10 Washes	4.1
Lightweight PET Fabric	0 Washes	6.1
	10 Washes	4.3

[Conclusion]
These results demonstrate that the agent is highly effective against Staphylococcus aureus.
This agent is recommended for antibacterial odor-control finishing.
