  • Material and method for inhibiting bacterial growth in an aqueous medium
    Patent number: 5932183
    Abstract: A biocidal material comprises an organic biocide immobilised on a polymeric support characterised in that the support is water-insoluble and the biocide is covalently bound to the support by a hydrolytically stable covalent linkage. The material can be used for inhibiting bacterial growth in an aqueous medium e.g. the wash water of a photoprocessing system. The material can be housed in a flow-through container.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 25, 1997
    Date of Patent: August 3, 1999
    Assignee: Eastman Kodak Company
    Inventors: Gregory Nigel Batts, Karen Leeming, Christoper Peter Moore

  • Material method and apparatus for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueous medium
    Patent number: 5855899
    Abstract: A biocidal material comprises a biocide immobilized in a porous inorganic polymer network such as a sol-gel matrix. The polymer may be coated on an inorganic support. The material can be used for inhibiting microbial growth in an aqueous medium, e.g., the wash solution of a photoprocessing system. The material can be housed in a flow-through container.
