Abstract: The invention is a method comprising the use of diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone with water-soluble polymers, resulting in improved stability of diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone in various compositions with complex matrices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone is premixed with a solution of cationic polymer prior to addition to a formulation containing a complex matrix of ingredients that degrade diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone. As a result, diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone retains its chemical stability and antimicrobial activity.

Abstract: A solid antimicrobial composition that maintains free flow when exposed to high humidity and elevated temperature. The composition contains at least ortho-phthalic aldehyde and an anti-caking agent. A dispersant and/or a solubility enhancer may also be added. The composition is novel because it presents greatly decreased caking tendency as compared to OPA by itself, and preserves excellent flowing properties even after extended exposure to extreme temperature and humidity conditions.

Abstract: The invention comprises a solidified melt mixture of OPA with compounds selected from the group of water soluble polymers, surfactants, carboxylic acids, and salts wherein the formulation contains from 0.1% to 99.9% OPA, better 10% to 50% OPA, best about 20 to 30% OPA.
