IMPREGNATABLE MATRIX OF PLANT, ANIMAL OR SYNTHETIC ORIGIN OR MIXTURES OF SAME, CONTAINING A UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOUND, METHOD FOR IMPREGNATING SAID MATRIX WITH A COMPOUND, AND USE THEREOF IN THE PRODUCTION OF ANTIMICROBIAL ELEMENTS
The invention relates to an impregnable matrix of plant, animal or synthetic origin or mixtures of same in different proportions, containing an antimicrobial compound uniformly distributed throughout the whole composition, in which the compound is a compound of a transition metal, particularly Cu4S04(OH)e. The application also relates to the method for impregnating the matrix with a compound, comprising steps of (a) absorbing or impregnating the antimicrobial compound (b) centrifuging or pressing or crushing (c) air drying and (d) binding and obtaining the active principle. The invention further relates to the use of the method for the preparation of a matrix having antimicrobial properties and to the use of the matrix in the preparation of solid supports or solid materials for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, medical or veterinary use.
