Suggested are biocide compositions, comprising (a) Esters of ethoxylated alcohols according to formula (I) R 1 CO(OCH 2 CH 2 ) n OR 2 (I) In which R 1 CO stands for a saturated or unsaturated acyl radical having 8 to 22 carbon atoms, R 2 represents an alkyl radical having 1 to 10 carbon atoms, n denominates an integer of from 1 to 100, on condition that said esters exhibit an HLB value within a range of 10 to 17: (b) Biocides and optionally (c) Oil components or co-solvents and/or (d) Emulsifiers. The compositions show high solubility for biocides and improved emulsification properties. |
