(57) [Summary] [Purpose] To improve the stability of 3-isothiazolones, which are microbicides, in solvents. The composition of the present invention comprises (a) the following formula: Wherein R and R 1 are independently hydrogen or halogen, or R is an alkyl group of (C 1 -C 4 ), and R 1 Is halogen, or R and R 1 may combine to form an unsaturated 5- or 6-membered carbocyclic ring, Y is hydrogen, a (C 1 -C 18 ) alkyl group; Unsubstituted or halo-substituted alkenyl or alkynyl having 2 to 8 carbon atoms; cycloalkyl or substituted cycloalkyl having 3 to 12 carbon atoms; aralkyl or halo having up to 10 carbon atoms, (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl- Or (C 1 To C 4 ) alkoxy-substituted aralkyl; 10 carbon atoms Up to aryl groups or halo-, (C 1 -C 4 ) alkyl- or (C 1 -C 4 ) alkoxy-substituted aryl groups], and (b) A composition containing a metal bromate in an amount sufficient to stabilize the composition and free of metal nitrate. |
