Abstract: The invention relates to an aqueous dispersion which includes a mixture composed of the active ingredients carbendazime, 2-(thiocyanomethylthio)-benzothiazole and 2-methylthio-4-t-butyl-amino-6-cyclopropylamino-s-triazine. Further active ingredients with algicidal or fungicidal effect can optionally be present in the dispersion. The dispersion can be used for the fungicidal and algistatic finishing of paints, varnishes and plasters.

Abstract: A preservative, for compositions having an aqueous phase, comprisinga) 5 to 60% by weight of an organic acid selected from the group consisting of benzoic acid, 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, salicylic acid, formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, sorbic acid, undecylenic acid and dehydracetic acid or their mixtures including their sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, ammonium and ethanolamine saltsb) 10 to 95% by weight of alcohols of the general formulae I, II or III ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 denotes hydrogen, an n-alkyl, iso-alkyl or alkoxy radical having 1 to 3 C atoms, and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 denote hydrogen or a CH.sub.3 -- or C.sub.2 H.sub.5 -- radical and n has the value of 3 or 4, andc) 0.1 to 20% by weight of one or more poly(hexa-methylenebiguanide) salts of the general formula ##STR2## in which Z represents hydrochloride, acetate, lactate, benzoate, propionate, 4-hydroxybenzoate, sorbate or salicylate; and n has the value of 4 to 6, in combination in a customary carrier or solvent.

Abstract: A water insoluble compound of formula I ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sub.2 is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having from 10 to 16 carbon atoms. The compounds of the present invention are useful in fungicidal compositions suitable for combatting fungus in plaster and paint.
