Disclosed are antimicrobial release agents, methods of preparing antimicrobial release agents, and miscible polymers containing antimicrobial release agents. Antimicrobial release agents are prepared from acidic hydrophilic materials, active compounds and incentives having a pH of less than 3.5 as carriers. The admixture polymer of the present invention optionally releases an antimicrobial agent in the form of a gas, such as ClO 2, in a concentration range of 150 ppm to 1800 ppm per gram of the admixture polymer under certain test conditions. |
