Abstract
Abstract The present invention provides a novel antimicrobial polymer composition having superior weatherability and discoloration resistance over those of the prior art. The present invention provides an antimicrobial polymer composition comprising a polymer and an antimicrobial composition comprising an antimicrobial coat of an aluminosilicate on the surface of silica gel, wherein said aluminosilicate contains antimicrobial metal ions, characterized in that said antimicrobial polymer composition further comprises thiabendazole.
