PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ANTIBACTERIAL GLAZE, ANTIBACTERIAL MEMBER, AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCING THE MEMBER

摘要

In order to provide antimicrobial members excellent in both durability and antimicrobial properties, an antimicrobial glaze is prepared in the following manner: first a base glaze which is a constituent of a glaze layer formed on the surface of said members is prepared by way of mixing/grinding water, glaze base materials and pigment, secondly a heat resistant powder material with an antimicrobial metal on it is mixed in the above base glaze, and finally a binder is mixed in the above mixture. As for the antimicrobial metal carried on a heat resistant powder material, its percentage to the heat resistant powder material is preferably within the range of 0.5 weight % to 25 weight %. As for the heat resistant powder material with an antimicrobial metal on it, its percentage to the total weight of a dried glaze is preferably within the range of 0.5 weight % to 10 weight %.
