EFFECT OF BORIC ACID ADDITION ON ANTIBACTERIAL DYE PRODUCTION

Abstract

In this study, the use of interior dyes with antibacterial properties was examined. Boric acid (H3BO3), which is a cheap and easily obtainable boron compound from our country's resources, has an antibacterial effect. Within the scope of the study, firstly, boric acid mixtures were prepared in appropriate concentrations and antibacterial dye production studies were carried out by adding them to indoor dyes. The antibacterial properties of the obtained dye were investigated through the inhibition effect on E. coli bacteria and its antibacterial activity was tested, and then the brightness, density, film thickness, scorching, pencil hardness and drying time tests of the dyes and the suitability of their characteristics to TS 5808/2012 and the applicability of these dyes were evaluated. The results showed that the antibacterial effect of boric acid did not have a negative effect on the dye quality, but maintained the standard values of the dye.
