Abstract: A method for manufacturing bromine and bromine-iodine agents with detergent and disinfecting activity which comprises reacting a complex dibromineiodine ion [IBr.sub.2 ].sup.- or iodine bromide IBr with non-ionic surfactants, e.g. fatty alcohols extended with ethylene oxide, alkylphenols extended with ethylene oxide etc. When [IBr.sub.2 ].sup.- -ion is used in the synthesis, a bromine complex compound corresponding to the general formulaR--(OC.sub.n H.sub.2n).sub.x --OH . . . Br--Br . . . HO--(C.sub.n H.sub.2n O).sub.x --R,wherein R represents an alkyl, alkylamido, aryl or alkylaryl radical of 6-32 carbon atoms n is an integer from 2 to 4 and x is an integer representing the number of oxyalkylene groups and has a value from 2 to 50, is obtained.When using an IBr compound in the synthesis, a bromine-iodine complex compound corresponding to the formulaR--(OC.sub.n H.sub.2n).sub.x --OH . . . I--Br . . . HO--(C.sub.n H.sub.2n O).sub.x --R,wherein R, n and x have the meanings given above, is obtained.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing bromine-polyphosphate and bromine-iodine-polyphosphate complex compounds having detergent and disinfecting properties is described.These compounds disinfectant a wide range of application as efficient disinfectants and disinfectants detergents in such fields as medicine, veterinary medicine, agriculture, dairy and meat industries.
