Abstract:
A method for the detoxification of a mustard gas by reaction with a bis-tertiary diamine resulting in quaternary ammonium ionene polymers. Sulfur-containing quaternary ammonium ionene polymers which are useful as microbicides for controlling the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems and on surfaces, as well as for inhibiting slime formation in aqueous systems and biocidal compositions contain effective amounts of the sulfur-containing quaternary ammonium ionene polymers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submergible surface. The method contacts the submergible surface with an effective amount of at least one oxime ester to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the submergible surface. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling biofouling of an aqueous system. This method adds an effective amount of at least one oxime ester to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submerged surfa ce within the aqueous system. This method effectively controls biofouling without substantially killing the bacteria. The oxime ester used in the method of the invention has formula (I). The present invention also relates to compositions containing oxime esters and useable i n the above methods. The compositions comprise at least one oxime ester in an amount effective to inhibit bacteria from adhering to submergible or submerged surfaces.
