To prepare antimicrobial coating on leather surfaces with high potency against microbes, photoactive agents such as benzophenone (BP) and rose bengal (RB) were incorporated into polyurethane‐based coating solutions, respectively, and then the BP or RB containing solutions were applied onto surfaces of leather by a painting method. The photoactive antimicrobial agents treated leather samples were characterized by FTIR, SEM, and antimicrobial tests. The treated‐leather samples demonstrated excellent antibacterial activity under fluorescent light as well as UVA light and also the antimicrobial ability showed the effective durability to abrasion and daylight.
