Abstract:
A stabilized halocyanoacetamide composition in the form of a solution or emulsifiable concentrate using selected ester solvents is disclosed. Preferred ester solvents include glyceryl triacetate, ethyl acetate and diethyl phthalate. Particularly preferred are stabilized compositions containing 2,2-dibromo-3-nitrilopropionamide, glyceryl triacetate and optional non-ionic surfactants or additional antimicrobial compounds, particularly 3-isothiazolone compounds.
The invention relates to compositions for reducing the swelling of wood in the presence of water, comprising: one or more polymers comprising, as polymerized units, i) 55-99.9% by weight of the total polymer of one or more (meth) acrylic acid ester monomers having the formula: wherein R=hydrogen or a methyl group; and R=an alkyl or alkenyl group containing at least 12 carbon atoms; and ii) 0.1-45% by weight of the total polymer of one or more monomers copolymerizable with (I). The invention also relates to a method of reducing the rate at which biocide leaches from wood.
The invention concerns a wood preservative composition consisting essentially of (a) 4,5-dichloro-2-n-3-isothiazolone and optionally one or more other preservative compounds; (b) a surfactant system consisting of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of sulfates anionics, sulfonated anionics, sulfosuccinated anionics, quaternary ammonium cationics, and amphoterics; and (c) at least one non-polar organic solvent.
The invention concerns a method of protecting wood comprising the steps of (a) treating said wood with a composition consisting essentially of (i) 4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-3-isothiazolone and optionally one or more other preservative compounds; (ii) a surfactant system consisting of at least one surfactant selected from the group consisting of sulfated anionics, sulfonated anionics, sulfosuccinated anionics, quaternary ammonium cationics, and amphoterics; and (iii) at least one non-polar organic solvent and (b) allowing said solvent to evaporate from said wood.
Solid, Dry, Chlorine-Free Antimicrobial Compositions, And Method Of Use
A biocidal composition comprising a dry, water soluble mixture of a solid bromide and a stable, solid peracetylperoxyborate compound useful as a chlorine-free water treatment system, said peracetylperoxyborate composition generating hypobromous acid upon addition of water. Methods of treating water with said compositions are also disclosed.
Microemulsions of water-insoluble active ingredients, employing a special surfactant system and solvent system. These microemulsions remain thermodynamically stable over a wide range of water dilutions.
