| abstract |
This invention relates to salts of oxyalkylated amino compounds which render normally water insoluble components such as biocides, soluble in water and thereby improving their usefulness and effectiveness. These amino compounds render biocides such as methylene bis(thiocyanate) (MBT) and/or bis(trichloromethyl) sulfone (BTMS) water soluble. The soluble forms of these biocides afford more predictable, consistent and effective biocidal results when applied to systems contaminated with microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, algae, molds, and certain yeasts and thus offer considerable advantages over insoluble, dispersible, emulsified forms of these biocides. |
