Abstract:
Disclosed are microbicidal compositions of a synergistic mixture, the first component of which is ((butylaminocarbonyl)oxy)carbonimidic-dibromide and the second component of which is one or more commercial microbicides, wherein the ratio of the first component to the second component is in the range of 1:0.03 to 1:1000. Also disclosed are methods of inhibiting the growth of microorganisms using these synergistic mixtures.
Abstract:
Synergistic antialgal compositions comprising substituted fluoroalkyl diphenylethers and a material selected from the group consisting of sodium hypochlorite, halodialkylhydantoin, n-alkyl dimethyl benzylammonium chloride, 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide, 2-bromo-2-nitro-1,3-propanediol, poly[oxyethylene(dimethylimino)ethylene(dimethylimino)ethylene dichloride], 3-iodo-2-propynylbutylcarbamate, sodium N-methyldithiocarbamate, 3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, N-(phosphonomethvl)glycine and salts thereof, zinc bis(dimethyldithiocarbamate), p-tolyldiiodomethylsulfone and fatty acid salt in ratios to each other which exhibit synergism are disclosed. Particularly effective combinations are based on oxyfluorfen as the diphenylether for use in protecting aqueous systems, such as latices and cooling water systems, from algal growth.
Abstract:
A method of detoxifying biocide which is toxic to aquatic life comprising contacting said biocide with a water soluble organic thiol compound. Applications of the method are primarily for biocide spills or for industrial effluents which comprise biocide and must be detoxified prior to release into the environment, and must pass a photoluminescent bacterial assay. Kits are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A synergistic biocide composition is disclosed comprising 2-methyl-3-isothiazolone and 2-n-octyl-3-isothiazolone which exhibits improved control against fungi and bacteria, the composition comprising less than 5% by weight of halogenated compounds, and preferably being halogen free.
