Abstract
The use as antimicrobial agents of organosilicon quaternary ammonium compounds of the formula: ##STR1## wherein m+n is 16 to 19, m is 1 to 6, and n is 13 to 17 or m+n is 20 to 23, m is 4 to 11 and n is 9 to 17; X is a halogen; and Y is a hydrolyzable radical or hydroxy group. Substrates, such as cellulose fabrics, can be impregnated with these compounds, so that the growth of disease causing microorganisms in and on the substrates is inhibited.
