Composition, wet wiper, spray, mask with antibacterial agent, face guard with antibacterial agent, and antibacterial liquid material

A composition comprising:

• a hydrophilic component selected from the group consisting of a hydrophilic binder precursor and a hydrophilic binder;
• an antibacterial agent;
• and
• a solvent,
• wherein a first antibacterial activity value obtained by the following test 1 is 4.0 or less, and
• a second antibacterial activity value obtained by the following test 2 is 4.0 or more,
• Test 1:
• in a case where Escherichia coli is inoculated on a polyethylene terephthalate film and a common logarithmic value of the number of viable bacteria on the polyethylene terephthalate film after culturing the Escherichia coli for 3 hours under conditions of 35 ± 1° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH or more is defined as a common logarithmic value X1, and in a case where 9.6 g/m2 of the composition is applied onto a polyethylene terephthalate film using a nonwoven fabric impregnated with the composition and a drying operation is repeated five times to produce a polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition, Escherichia coli is inoculated on the polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition, and a common logarithmic value of the number of viable bacteria on the polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition after culturing the Escherichia coli for 3 hours under conditions of 35 ± 1° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH or more is defined as a common logarithmic value Y1, a difference between the common logarithmic value X1 and the common logarithmic value Y1 is calculated as the first antibacterial activity value,
• Test 2:
• in a case where Escherichia coli is inoculated on a polyethylene terephthalate film and a common logarithmic value of the number of viable bacteria on the polyethylene terephthalate film after culturing the Escherichia coli for 24 hours under conditions of 35 ± 1° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH or more is defined as a common logarithmic value X2, and in a case where 9.6 g/m2 of the composition is applied onto a polyethylene terephthalate film using a nonwoven fabric impregnated with the composition and a drying operation is repeated five times to produce a polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition, Escherichia coli is inoculated on the polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition, and a common logarithmic value of the number of viable bacteria on the polyethylene terephthalate film coated with the composition after culturing the Escherichia coli for 24 hours under conditions of 35 ± 1° C. and a relative humidity of 90% RH or more is defined as a common logarithmic value Y2, a difference between the common logarithmic value X2 and the common logarithmic value Y2 is calculated as the second antibacterial activity value.
