Patent EP-0313409-A2 (EP)
Inventor: DUTHIE JR ROBERT E
IPC: A61L2/10
Filed: 1988-10-21
Abstract: A sterilization method and apparatus wherein microorganisms are exposed to ultraviolet light characterized by providing and operating a mercury/gallium metal halide ultraviolet light source in a manner exposing the microorganisms to ultraviolet light and a gaseous titanium dioxide emitted from the source for an exposure time in the range from about 0.3 seconds to about 60 seconds and at an exposure distance in the range from about 0.25 inch to about 4.0 inches, the ultraviolet light being emitted through a wavelength range from about 175 nanometers to about 450 nanometers with the relative energy being in the range from equal to or greater than 1.3 to equal to or less than 250 microwatts/sq.cm./nanometer at one meter. When the microorganisms are on the surface of an object, the surface is exposed to the ultraviolet light and to the titanium dioxide to provide a dynamic sterilization process on the surface so that the critical surface tension on the surface is changed and biological contaminant layers are actively removed from the surface without altering the originality of the surface which eliminates any shielding or screening or microorganisms on the surface and which provides complete sterilization on the surface with microcombustion of microorganisms. In addition, ozone-free quartz is provided in operative relation between the light source and the microorganisms.

Abstract: The polyurethanes are obtained by reacting oligo(poly)urethanes containing free hydroxyl or isocyanate groups and perfluoroaliphatic groups with difunctional/polyfunctional polysiloxanes at elevated temperature with reaction of all the reactive groups of the urethane. 
<??>These compounds are used to produce oil-repellent and water-repellent finishes on fibre materials; the treated materials are not provided only with washing- and cleaning-resistant effects, but in particular also with a very soft, full handle with very good surface smoothness. These excellent handle effects are further optimised by the addition of a polyethylene dispersion and/or further conventional textile assistants, in particular water-repellent fluorocarbon compounds.
