Studies on Production of Antibacterial Wet-tissue Saturated with Hypochlorous Acid Water - Changes in HOCl Absorption Rate in Different Tissue Fabric and Its Effects on Antibacterial Activity -

This study was conducted to investigate the changes in the HOCl absorption rate in the different tissue fabric and its effects on antibacterial rate against Klebsiella pneumoniae . HOCl solution was made by electrolysis of NaCl solution. As results, the absorption rate of HOCl solution into the basic tissue fabric increased with increasing cotton or rayon contents. Antibacterial activity against Klebsiella pneumoniae increased as HOCl concentration increased. Especially, the antibacterial activity of wet-tissue was 100% under the conditions of more than approximately 15 ppm of HOCl. However, it was found that antibacterial activity decreased with increasing the elapsed time after HOCl solution treatment.
