Abstract
Compositions and methods are disclosed for sanitizing aqueous media, which combine a chlorine-source composition and a glycoluril-source composition. The compositions are added together or separately, continuously or periodically, and by any of a variety of methods. The glycoluril compound stabilizes the chlorine and prolongs its useful life as a microbicidal agent.
Claims10
A disinfecting composition, comprising a mixture of:
- a 50-99.99% by weight of a chlorine-source material;
- and
- b. 0.01-50% by weight of glycolurils having the structure:
- ##STR3## in which R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, lower alkyl radicals of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and phenyl;
- each X is hydrogen;
- and a is either 0 or 1.
