An antimicrobial composition which comprises an active agent that reduces the spread of pathogens. The active agent is mixed with a water-soluble polymer in order to form a mixture, in which the polymer forms a continuous phase, from which the active agent is capable of being released. The composition can be used to produce objects, for example elongated extrudates, which can be used to cover and coat different objects. Thus, the surface is constantly covered with the active agent until the object is mechanically worn away. |
