Abstract: The present invention relates to certain processes and compositions useful for inhibiting the growth of slime in water and, in particular, water used for industrial purposes; for example, in the manufacture of paper and pulp paper, in cooling water systems and in effluent water treatment. The novel processes and compositions of the present invention are processes or mixtures which show unexpected synergistic activity against microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and algae, which produce, in aqueous systems or bodies, slime which is objectionable from either an operational or aesthetic point of view. Specifically, the invention is directed to the use of compositions comprising .alpha.-Bromo-p-methylacetophenone and Bis (trichloromethyl) sulfone.

Abstract: Various substituted cyclohexylamines, e.g., 4-aminodicyclohexylmethane, have demonstrated bacteriostatic and fungistatic properties and can be used as industrial biocides.

Abstract: Pesticidal compositions comprised of alkali-metal salts of hydroxymethyldithiocarbamic acids in aqueous media are stabilized by addition of alkaline material thereto.

Abstract: A method of disinfecting hard surfaces by applying thereto N-trimethylbenzyl ethylenediamine, and the use of said compound in admixture with anionic, cationic or non-ionic surfactants to provide a disinfectant and cleansing composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain processes and compositions useful for inhibiting the growth of slime in water and, in particular, water used for industrial purposes; for example, in the manufacture of paper, in cooling water systems and in effluent water treatment. The novel processes and compositions of the present invention are processes or mixtures which show unexpected synergistic activity against microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, which produce slime in aqueous systems or bodies which are objectionable from either an operational or aesthetic point of view. Specifically, the invention is directed to the use of compositions comprising a combination of 1,3-dichloroacetone oxime acetate and beta-bromo-beta-nitrostyrene.

Abstract: Phenolic complexes of water-insoluble but water-swellable crosslinked N-vinyllactam or N-alkyl-N-vinylamide polymers in the form of porous beads or granules and a process of preparing same. The complexes are particularly suited for use in situations wherein phenolic materials in limited quantities are desired such as, for example, in canisters or columns which are used to treat liquids or water. The novel complexes are prepared by adsorbing a phenolic material onto the porous granular or porous bead-like crosslinked N-vinyllactam or N-alkyl-N-vinylamide polymers.

Abstract: The biocide, methylenebisthiocyanate, may be combined with 2,4,5-trichlorophenol to provide a synergistically effective antifungal and antibacterial composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain processes and compositions useful for inhibiting the growth of slime in water and, in particular, water used for industrial purposes; for example, in the manufacture of pulp paper, in the manufacture of paper, in cooling water systems and in effluent water treatment. The novel processes and compositions of the present invention are processes or mixtures which show unexpected synergistic activity against microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, which produce slime in aqueous systems or bodies which are objectionable from either an operational or aesthetic point of view. Specifically, the invention is directed to the use of compositions comprising a combination 1,3-dichloroacetone oxime acetate and a mixture of 75% of 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one calcium chloride and 25% of 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one calcium chloride.

Abstract: Monohydroxyphenyl carbinols with at least two halogen atoms in the molecule have been found as microbicides which are effective against various types of bacteria and fungi.

Abstract: Active microbiocides prepared by reacting a long-chain N alkyl diamine such as cocodiamine in molar amounts with 0.5-3.0 moles of epichlorohydrin under controlled conditions and then terminating the active end groups by reacting with 0.5-3.0 moles of a tri lower alkylamine, such as trimethylamine. The poly quaternary nitrogen compounds produced are effective at 25 ppm levels in recirculating systems against bacteria, such as A. aerogenes. In inhibition tests these compounds have also proved effective against fungi, such as A. niger.

Abstract: Chloromethyl nitropyridine compounds which correspond to one of the formulae ##SPC1##Wherein R represents dichloromethyl, trichloromethyl and n represents an integer of 1 or 2, with the proviso that when n is 2, the R groups are not ortho to each other, and compositions containing said compounds are employed as broad spectrum antimicrobials for the control of both fungal and bacterial organisms.

Abstract: The present invention relates to certain processes and compositions useful for inhibiting the growth of slime in water and, in particular, water used for industrial purposes; for example, in the manufacture of pulp paper, in the manufacture of paper, in cooling water systems and in effluent water treatment. The novel processes and compositions of the present invention are processes or mixtures which show unexpected synergistic activity against microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi, and algae, which produce slime in aqueous systems or bodies which are objectionable from either an operational or aesthetic point of view. Specifically, the invention is directed to the use of compositions comprising a combination 1,3-dichloroacetone oxime acetate and n-alkyl (C.sub.12 40%, C.sub.14 50%, C.sub.16 10%) dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride.

Abstract: The present invention relates to processes and compositions for inhibiting or preventing the growth of microorganisms in aqueous systems and formulations, by the addition thereto of dialkyl bromonitromalonates.
