Claims19
An antimicrobial composition for controlling bacterial and fungi comprising in combination:
- (a) a metal chelate of 8-hydroxy quinoline in which the metal is selected from the group consisting of copper, mercury, cadmium, nickel, tin, aluminum and zinc,
- (b) an alkyl benzene sulfonic acid wherein the alkyl group is C.sub.6 to C.sub.18, said metal chelate being solubilized by said sulfonic acid,
- (c) the weight ratio of said metal chelate to said alkyl benzene sulfonic acid being between about 1:5 and 1:14.
A method for controlling the growth of microorganisms which comprises applying to the locus of said microorganisms an antimicrobially effective amount of a composition comprising:
- (a) a metal chelate of 8-hydroxy quinoline in which the metal is selected from the group consisting of copper, mercury, cadmium, nickel, tin, aluminum and zinc,
- (b) an alkyl benzene sulfonic acid wherein the alkyl group is C.sub.6 to C.sub.18, said metal chelate being solubilized by said sulfonic acid,
- (c) the weight ratio of said metal chelate to said sulfonic acid being between about 1:5 and 1:14.
