Abstract

The present invention relates to hygienic products such as sanitary pads and tampons, patient/adult diapers and baby diapers which are made antimicrobial. In the present invention, a mixture of glucopon, chlorhexidine gluconate and triclosan is obtained from the boron compounds called sodium borate, zinc borate, sodium perborate tetrahydrate, borax pentahydrate and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate; and this mixture provides antifungal, anticandidal, antibacterial and antiviral properties to the woven or non-woven textile products and hygienic products. Additionally, the said hygienic products are made hydrophilic by means of the invention.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A hygienic product comprising a boron mixture, wherein the boron mixture provides an antimicrobial property; wherein the hygienic product further comprises a poly glycoside surfactant, chlorhexidine gluconate and 5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol, wherein the poly glycoside surfactant, chlorhexidine gluconate, and 5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol provide an antiviral property; wherein the boron mixture comprises a mixture of sodium borate ((Na 2 O)(B 2 O 3 ) 5 .10H 2 O), zinc borate (2ZnO.3B 2 O 3 .3.5H 2 O), sodium perborate tetrahydrate (NaBO 3 .4H 2 O), borax pentahydrate (Na 2 B 4 O 7 .5H 2 O) and disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (Na 2 B 8 O 13 .4H 2 O).

2. The hygienic product according to claim 1 , wherein the boron mixture has a concentration of 0.05-50 mg/cm 2 .

3. The hygienic product according to claim 2 , wherein the poly glycoside surfactant is applied to a surface of the hygienic product at a concentration of 3-10% by weight of the hygienic product.

4. The hygienic product according to claim 3 , wherein the chlorhexidine gluconate is applied to the surface at a concentration of 0.1-5% by weight of the hygienic product.

5. The hygienic product according to claim 4 , wherein the 5-Chloro-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)phenol is applied to the surface at a concentration of 0.01-0.1% by weight of the hygienic product.

6. The hygienic product according to claim 5 , wherein the hygienic product has an antibacterial activity on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteria.

7. The hygienic product according to claim 6 , wherein the hygienic product has an anticandidal activity on Candida albicans and Candida glabrata yeasts.

8. The hygienic product according to claim 7 , wherein the hygienic product has an activity on Fusarium oxysporum, Botrytis cinerea, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium vinaceum and Penicillium expansum fungi.

9. The hygienic product according to claim 8 , wherein the hygienic product has an antiviral activity against enveloped and non-enveloped DNA and RNA viruses.

10. The hygienic product according to claim 9 , wherein the hygienic product includes a woven textile material, the woven textile material has antimicrobial, antiviral and hydrophilic properties.

11. The hygienic product according to claim 9 , the hygienic product is an article selected from the group consisting of a sanitary pad, a tampon, a baby diaper, a patient diaper and an adult diaper.
