Skin patch test and antibacterial properties of the reaction products between poly(hexamethyl biguanide) hydrochloride and trimethylol melamine on textile fabrics were examined. Antibacterial activities of anti-microbial agent treated samples are very good. The reduction ratios against four kinds of colonies are 99.9 % after repeated laundering ten times. Skin patch test results for anti-microbial agent treated samples are almost-negative by Hi-scope judgement and macroscopical judgement.

A. niger H-18 and A. fumigatus E-29 wrer selected for their strong abilities to produce cellulase. The λd numerical values of the cotton fabrics inoculated with A. niger H-18 and A. fumigatus E-29 were 580 nm for the both strains of molds. By the growth of molds, lightness, original color scale, and grey scale of the fabrics gradually decreased while chroma increased. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of mold-proofing agents, such as Leperon WL, 8-hydroxyquinoline copper acetate, trimethylol melamine and dimethyl ethylene urea was 50 ppm. Glycoxale was not effective at the above mentioned concentration. Since Leperon WL, trimethylol melamine and dimethyl ethylene urea effectively inhibited the growth of A. niger H-18 and A. fumigatus E-29, tensile strength and elongation of the fabrics were not changed. however, cotton fabrics treated with glycoxale of the fabrics were not changed. However, cotton fabrics treated with glycoxale and inoculated with A. niger H-18 and A. fumigatus E-29 showed decreased in tensile strength by 31.1% and 33.9%, respectively.

Aspergillus fumigatus(AF) and Penicillum citrinum(PC) were selected for their strong abilities to produce protease. The result are summarized as follows; 1. The λd numerical values of the silk fabrics with AF and PC were 560 and 580 nm for the both stains of molds. 2. By the growth of molds, lightness, original color scale, and grey scale of the fabrics gradually decreased while chroma increased. 3. The minimum inhibitory concentrations of mold proofing agents, such as Leperon WL, 8-hydroxyquinoline copper acetates, trimethylol melamine and dimethly ethylene urea was 50 ppm. 4. Glycoxale was not effective at the abovely concentration. Since Leperon WL, dimethyl ethylene urea effectively inhibited the growth of PC silk, tensile strengh and elongation of the fabrics were not changed.
