| abstract |
The invention relates to a novel process for preparing microencapsulated thiocyanomethylthiobenzothiazole (TCMTB) by coating TCMTB nanodroplets in an emulsion of an organic phase in an aqueous phase with a melamine-formaldehyde polymer coating to form solid TCMTB microcapsules. The invention also relates to the new TCMTB microcapsules and aqueous suspensions containing the TCMTB microcapsules, and to the use of microencapsulated TCMTB in tanning or for the preservation of hides, leather, fibers and polymerized material, or for preserving paints, products paper, wood, wood products or industrial water. |
