Abstract

Abstract An antibacterial and antifungal composition which comprises an antibacterial and antifungal material carried on a porous particle carrier is provided. Preferably, the porous particle carrier is a silica gel particle. For the antibacterial and antifungal material used in this invention, at least one substance selected from the group consisting of metal complex salts, plant extracts, quarternary ammonium salts and chlorhexidine or its derivatives is used. At least a portion of the surface of the above-mentioned carrier having the antibacterial and antifungal composition can be coated with a coating material. It is possible to use the antibacterial and antifungal composition obtained as described above by being contained in a resin, and also, in a caulking base material.
