Antimicrobial compositions based on the synergistic combination ofn2-methyl-3-isothiazolone and selected commercial microbicides where thencompositions are substantially free of halogenated 3-isothiazolone, are disclosed.nParticularly preferred are combinations of 2-methyl-3-isothiazolone togethernwith benzoic acid, citric acid, sorbic acid, 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane,n1,3-dimethylol-5,5-dimethylhydantoin, phenoxyethanol, benzyl alcohol, zincnpyrithione or climbazole, that provide enhanced microbicidal efficacy at ancombined active ingredient level lower than that of the combined individualn3-isothiazolone and commercial microbicide effective use levels. |
