Abstract
The incorporation of &egr;-polylysine or salt thereof (&egr;PL) having a water content of not more than 15% by weight in a resin composition makes it possible to obtain an antibacterial resin composition excellent in antibacterial capacity and safe in use. Since the &egr;PL can be fairly dispersed in the resin, the resulting molded article is not liable to destruction of external appearance. Accordingly, the antibacterial resin composition of the present invention can find good and wide application in medical sanitary goods, tableware, daily necessaries, automobile interior material, household appliance, film, sheet, fiber, coating compound such as paint, ink, and other goods which must be antibacterial. Further, the molded articles obtained from the resin composition according to the present invention can maintain its antibacterial effect even after repeated use and thus can be used over an extended period of time.
