Abstract: This invention is directed to a broad spectrum fungicide/algaecide composition which comprises a mixture of (a) at least one halopropynyl compound and (b) at least one sulfur-containing s-triazine, said mixture provided in an amount to prevent and/or protect a substrate from attack by one or more fungal and/or algael organisms. The composition can be used broadly in industrial systems and more particularly with substrates such as paints, coatings, stucco, concrete, stone, cementaceous surfaces, wood, caulking, sealants, textiles, and the like.

Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for sanitizing aqueous media, which combine a chlorine-source composition and a glycoluril-source composition. The compositions are added together or separately, continuously or periodically, and by any of a variety of methods. The glycoluril compound stabilizes the chlorine and prolongs its useful life as a microbicidal agent.

Abstract: A slow-dissolving sanitizing and clarifying puck for use in water such as swimming pool water preferably includes about 63% to about 80% trichloro-s-triazinetrione, about 4% to about 12% sodium tetraborate, about 10% to about 22% aluminum sulfate, and about 1% to 5% glycoluril.

Abstract: This invention provides a surprisingly efficacious combination useful for inhibiting microorganism growth, particularly in aqueous slurries containing mineral ore. In particular embodiments, the invention provides an antimicrobial composition comprising 1-(3-chloroallyl)-3,5,7 triaza-1-azoniaadamantane chloride and 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol. The invention also provides a method for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueus mineral or ore slurry, e.g. a kaolin slurry. The method includes the step of adding to the slurry a microbiocidal composition of 1-(3-chloroallyl)-3,5,7 triaza-1-azoniaadamantane chloride and 2-bromo-2-nitropropane-1,3-diol.

Abstract: A polycationic microbicidal and algaecidal agent containing as an active ingredient a polymer comprising repeating units represented by the formula (I) and having a number average molecular weight of at least 1,000, and a microbicidal and algaecidal method using the polymer: ##STR1## (wherein A is a single bond, an oxygen atom, a phenylene group, a dioxyethylene group or a tetramethyldisiloxane group, X.sub.1.sup.- and X.sub.2.sup.- may be the same or different and are counter anions in quaternary salts, p and q may be the same or different and are integers of from 1 to 6, and m is an integer of from 1 to 6, provided that A, X.sub.1.sup.-, X.sub.2.sup.-, p, q and m may be the same or optionally different for every repeating unit).

Abstract: Compositions and methods are disclosed for sanitizing aqueous media, which combine a chlorine-source composition and a glycoluril-source composition. The compositions are added together or separately, continuously or periodically, and by any of a variety of methods. The glycoluril compound stabilizes the chlorine and prolongs its useful life as a microbicidal agent while additionally reducing the formation of chloramines, trihalomethanes and odors.

Abstract: A composition comprising a water-dispersible ionene polymer and a water-dispersible di-lower-alkyl ammonium halide polymer (for example, a polymer of dimethyl diallyl ammonium chloride) is disclosed. These polymers are present in the composition in a ratio effective to function synergistically as an algistatic or algicidal agent when an effective amount of the composition is dispersed in a body of water. Examples of suitable bodies of water are swimming pools, spas, lakes, rivers, or water in an industrial water system, such as a cooling water system. Also, a method of treating water which is susceptible to the growth of algae is disclosed. The method is carried out by incorporating in the water an at least algistatic amount of the composition.

Abstract: Antimicrobial compounds of the formula ##STR1## wherein R, R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are selected according to the following:A. R is (C.sub.11 -C.sub.16) alkyl (straight or branched), and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are joined to form a morpholine, pyrrolidine, or piperidine ring with the N;B. R is (C.sub.11 -C.sub.16) and R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are independently selected from (C.sub.1 -C.sub.3) alkyl which in the case of C.sub.3 can be branched; andC. R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are the same and are (C.sub.6 -C.sub.12) alkyl, straight or branched, and R is (C.sub.1 -C.sub.16) alkyl, straight or branched; andX.sup.- =an anion preferably selected from chlorine, bromine, iodine, phosphate, acetate, benzoate, citrate, tartrate, alkyl- or aryl-sulfonate, and alkylsulfate.

Abstract: Synergistic microbicidal compositions are disclosed, comprising 4,5-dichloro-2-cyclohexyl-3-isothiazolone and one or more known microbicides for more effective, and broader control of microorganisms in various systems.
