Title:
METHOD FOR TREATING SURFACE OF COPPER OR COPPER ALLOY, SURFACE TREATMENT LIQUID FOR STERILIZING COPPER OR COPPER ALLOY, AND STERILIZING METHOD USING COPPER OR COPPER ALLOY TREATED USING SAID METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2019/008950
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention provides a surface treatment method capable of improving the anti-bacterial properties of copper or a copper alloy and increasing the speed of anti-bacterial action at a copper or copper alloy surface. This method for surface treating cooper or a copper alloy is characterized by including a step of preparing a reducing agent solution that contains an in vivo reductant and a step of treating copper or a copper alloy with the reducing agent solution. The present invention also provides a surface treatment liquid for sterilizing copper or a copper alloy, the liquid being characterized by containing the in vivo reductant. The present invention also provides a sterilizing method that is characterized by bringing the copper or copper alloy that has been treated using the surface treatment method into contact with a surface of a target so as to sterilize the surface of the target.
