Abstract: Aqueous substrates are treated to inhibit microbiological growth by addition of dimethylaminopropylmethacrylamide or dimethylaminopropylacrylamide.In the presence of corrosion inhibitors, it is found that the instant biocides will permit attainment of 100% biocidal kill when present in lesser amounts than are required when no corrosion inhibitor is present. Presence of the instant biocides causes no deletrious impact upon the corrosion inhibitors; and in fact an improvement in corrosion inhibition is observed in the presence of the biocide.
