Abstract: A composition of matter possessing powerful germicidal, antiseptic, fungicidal and bacteriacidal properties and a method of preparing the same are disclosed. The claimed method of manufacture permits the incorporation of iodine, urea or an iodophore or any combination thereof in the lipoidal, non polar, liquid aqueous phase of a two phase liquid aqueous system thereby producing the said composition of matter. The claimed composition can be prepared across a range of pH values extending from 3.4 to 7.5 without any significant loss of stability or germicidal, antiseptic, fungicidal and bacteriacidal activity.

Abstract: A composition of matter and a method of preparing same are disclosed. In this disclosure this composition of matter is referred to as Coacervated Iodine. The disclosed method of manufacture combines urea with the lipoidal non polar aqueous phase of a two phase liquid aqueous system. Crystalline iodine is then dissolved in the lipoidal non polar aqueous phase. This procedure results in a powerful germicide which can be manufactured across a range of pH values extending from 3.4 to 7.5 without any loss of stability or germicidal activity.

Abstract: An improved method of electroplating zinc comprises adding a polyquaternary ammonium salt or a mixture of a polyquaternary ammonium salt and a monomeric quaternary salt to the plating solution to improve the throwing power.

Abstract: An improved method for rapidly dispersing high solids suspensions, such as calcium carbonate slurries, using a copolymer of methyl acrylate and acrylic acid alone or along with sodium polyphosphates is disclosed.
