Abstract
A process is described herein for applying antimicrobials to substrates to prevent the growth of biological agents. An antimicrobial-binder mixture is provided. The binder comprises guar gum, ammonium sulfate, urea, and methyl acryloid. The antimicrobial is an organo silane quarternary amine antimicrobial. The antimicrobial-binder mixture is ionized to comprise negatively charged particles. The antimicrobial-binder mixture is aerosolized to form fog. The fog is administered to the surface and dried.
Claims8
A method of preventing biological agents from growing on a surface by applying an antimicrobial to the surface, comprising:
- providing an antimicrobial-binder mixture, wherein the binder comprises guar gum, ammonium sulfate, urea, and a methyl methacrylate copolymer, and wherein the antimicrobial is an organo silane quarternary amine antimicrobial;
- aerosolizing the antimicrobial-binder mixture to form fog;
- administering the antimicrobial-binder fog to the surface;
- and
- drying the antimicrobial-binder mixture on the surface.
A method of preventing biological agents from growing on a surface by applying an antimicrobial to the surface, comprising:
- preparing an antimicrobial-binder mixture by:
- heating water to a temperature greater than 63° C.;
- mixing guar gum with the water to form a first mixture;
- cooling the first mixture to a temperature between 57° C. and 63° C.;
- diluting the first mixture;
- mixing ammonium sulfate and urea with the first mixture to form a second mixture;
- diluting the second mixture;
- mixing a methyl methacrylate copolymer with the second mixture to form a binder;
- and
- mixing the binder, an antimicrobial having the formula NH3C18H36R where R is a silane group, and water to form an antimicrobial-binder mixture, wherein the binder comprises 2-3% of the antimicrobial-binder mixture by weight percent, and the antimicrobial comprises 2-3% of the antimicrobial binder mixture by weight percent;
- aerosolizing the antimicrobial-binder mixture to form fog;
- administering the antimicrobial-binder fog to the surface;
- and
- drying the antimicrobial-binder mixture on the surface at room temperature.
