Photobiologisch aktive Beschichtungsmasse und ihre Verwendung

(B4)(A1) Die Erfindung betrifft eine photobiologisch aktive Beschichtungsmasse, enthaltend ein polymeres Bindermaterial, das fuer sichtbares Licht transparent ist, sowie eine aktive Substanz, die durch sichtbares Licht elektronisch anregbar ist und Singulett-Sauerstoff und/oder organische Radikale erzeugt.

DE 19935179 A UPAB: 20010515 NOVELTY - A photobiologically active coating mass containing (a) a visible light-transparent polymeric binder and (b) an active substance which is electronically excitable by visible light and produces singlet oxygen and/or organic radicals is new. ACTIVITY - Antibacterial; virucide. USE - The coating mass is useful in plant protection, food, medical and textile technology, sanitation and environmental protection. In particular, it can be used for the coating of plants, e.g. trees and shrubs, and wood, for the painting of operating theatres, abattoirs, swimming baths, toilet surrounds, sauna, solariums and kitchens, for the coating of food packaging and for the impregnation of textiles and seeds. The mass can also be used for disinfection, for the control of plant diseases and for the control of pests, e.g. woodworm, microorganisms, e.g. bacteria and viruses. ADVANTAGE - Use of the coating mass is simple and efficient and is not harmful to human beings or the environment. Also, it is easy to produce and does not contain energy-intensive radiation sources, e.g. UV emitters.
