A compositions for retarding bacterial, fungal and viral contamination, as well as mold growth, comprising a hydrophilic material which, in turn, contains a chlorite salt; as well as a hydrophobic material containing an acid releasing agent. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic materials are together and substantially free of water; the hydrophilic material is capable of releasing chlorine dioxide after hydrolysis of the acid releasing agent. |
