Fabrication of fibre materials containing a polymeric antimicrobial

The possibility of obtaining fibre materials containing polyhexamethyleneguanidine hydrochloride fixed with glutaraldehyde was investigated. The resistance of the materials obtained to wet treatments simulating the conditions of laundering, which allows using them many times, was demonstrated. The fibre material fabricated on a viscose-Lavsan matrix has high resistance to water treatments. The amount of antimicrobial strongly bound in the fibre material is a function of the type and conditions of fabrication of the material and the molecular weight of the polyhexamethyleneguanidine.
