Abstract
This invention relates to antimicrobial compositions comprising a phenoxyarsine as the active antimicrobial substance and a solvent, which is a compound of the formula ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, m is 0 or 1 and n is 1 or 2. The compositions are suitable for the antimicrobial finishing of synthetic materials.
Claims10
An antimicrobial composition which is suitable for the antimicrobial finishing of synthetic materials, comprising a phenoxyarsine as the antimicrobial agent and a solvent, wherein said solvent is a compound of the formula ##STR4## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, m is 0 or 1 and n is 1 2.
A composition comprising a plasticizer suitable for use as a polymer processing aid and, in an amount at least sufficient to impart microbiocidal properties to the composition, a microbiocidal compound which is present in the composition as the solute in an aryl alkanol solvent, said microbiocidal compound being a phenoxarsine.
A composition comprising a plasticizer suitable for use as a polymer processing aid and, in an amount at least sufficient to impart microbiocidal properties to the composition, a microbiocidal compound which is present in the composition as the solute in a solvent of the following formula:
- ##STR5## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are hydrogen or lower alkyl, m is 0 or 1 and n is 1 or 2, said microbiocidal compound being a phenoxarsine.
