摘要:
Aqueous dispersions of 2-(4-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole (TBZ), alone or in combination with 1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane (DBDCB), and processes for making the same, are disclosed. These processes generally comprise mixing a gum such as xanthan gum with water, optionally adding TBZ and mixing until uniform. DBDCB dispersions may be prepared by mixing xanthan gum with water, adding DBDCB, maintaining the mixture at a temperature below about 40°C, grinding the mixture and mixing until uniform. The TBZ and DBDCB dispersions are then blended to prepare a dispersion containing both active ingredients. Use of these dispersions for inhibiting microbial growth is also disclosed.
