A synergistic microbicidal composition having two components. The first component is a nonionic surfactant with structure: R 2 0(CH 2 CH(CH 3 )0) 3 (CH 2 CH 2 0) 5 H, where R 2 is a mixture of C 8 -C 14 linear alkyl groups. The second component is 2-bromo-2- nitropropane-l,3-diol (bronopol), tetrahydro-3,5-dimethyl-2H-l,3,5-thiadiazine-2-thione (dazomet) or a mixture of 4-(2-nitrobutyl) morpholine and 4,4'-(2-ethyl-2-nitrotrimethylene)dimorpholine. |
