[ Summary ]
SR-AC-101 is an antibacterial and antifungal agent effective against fungi, bacteria, algae, and yeasts.
It has a broad range of applications and can be incorporated into plastic resins and ceramics.

[ Overview ]
SR-AC-101 is a composite formulation based on established organic compounds. Like other organic antibacterial and antifungal agents, it works by disrupting bacterial and fungal cell walls and inhibiting the synthesis of proteins, DNA, sulfhydryl (SH) groups, and other cellular components.
Bacteria whose biosynthesis has been inhibited signal danger to other bacteria of the same species, deterring them from approaching (a repellent effect), and then die because they cannot obtain the nutrients required for growth.

Conventional antibacterial agents kill bacteria by damaging their cell walls and nuclei, but do not transmit a danger signal to other bacteria of the same species. As a result, bacteria can repeatedly recolonize the same location.

[ Antibacterial Test Data ]
The test was conducted under the following conditions:
Test method: JIS Z 2801
Testing laboratory: Japan Chemical Fibers Inspection Association
Test specimen: 1% SR-AC-101

Staphylococcus aureus	Inoculum Count	Untreated Test Piece Viable Count After Inoculation (CFU)	Untreated Test Piece Viable Count After 24 Hours (CFU)	Antibacterial-Treated Test Piece Viable Count After 24 Hours (CFU)	Antibacterial Activity Value
Water-Resistance Category “0”	0.4 ml	3.2 × 10⁵	1.8 × 10⁵	<10	>4.2
Light-Resistance Category “1”	0.4 ml	2.7 × 10⁵	1.8 × 10⁵	<10	>4.2

 

Escherichia coli	Inoculum Count	Untreated Test Piece Viable Count After Inoculation (CFU)	Untreated Test Piece Viable Count After 24 Hours (CFU)	Antibacterial-Treated Test Piece Viable Count After 24 Hours (CFU)	Antibacterial Activity Value
Water-Resistance Category “0”	0.4 ml	2.5 × 10⁵	4.6 × 10⁵	<10	>4.6
Light-Resistance Category “1”	0.4 ml	2.6 × 10⁵	5.1 × 10⁵	3.4 × 10⁵	>4.1

These results far exceed the SIAA performance criterion for antibacterial-treated products—an antibacterial activity value of at least 2.0—demonstrating high antibacterial activity.

[ Minimum Inhibitory Concentration Test (MIC) ]
The test was conducted under the following conditions:
Testing laboratory: Japan Chemical Fibers Inspection Association
Test specimen: SR-AC-101

Test Organism	MIC (ppm)
Staphylococcus aureus	5.5
Escherichia coli	22

These results far exceed the SIAA performance criterion for antibacterial-treated products—an MIC of no more than 800 ppm—demonstrating high antibacterial activity.
