A biocidal phosphate ester has been developed combined with an inert inorganic or organic particulate carrier or polymer. The biocidal carrier composition is useful for extending the effective life of the biocidal phosphate ester when incorporated into a variety of materials including plastics, fiber materials, and solutions. Applications of the carrier compounds developed include the preparation of mold resistant paints and plastics with prolonged antimicrobial properties despite repeated washing and surface wear. |
