Abstract
There is provided a microbecidal or microbiostatic water-dispersible synergistic combination of a non-ionic surface-active agent that is a mono-ester of a twelve carbon atom aliphatic acid and a polyol and at least one microbecide, e.g., a phenolic compound (including resorcinol compounds). Preferably, the weight ratios of the microbecide-to-ester are between 1:1 to 1:100. These compositions may be dispersed in water and avoid inactivation of the microbecide. Further, the present composition provides activity greater than either the ester or the microbecide alone.

A microbecidal or microbiostatic composition having included therein effective amounts of the combination active ingredients of:
- 1. at least one microbecidal surface-active mono-ester of a twelve carbon atom aliphatic acid and a polyol;
- and
- 2. at least one active phenolic microbecide.
A method for effecting a microbecidal action in a composition comprising adding thereto a microbecidally or microbiostatically-effective amount of a combination of active ingredients of:
- 1. at least one surface-active mono-ester of a twelve carbon atom aliphatic acid and a polyol;
- and
- 2. at least one active phenolic microbecide.
