Abstract:
Synergistic combinations of active compounds consisting of benzimidazolyl-alkyl-carbonates and (2,2'-dihydroxy-5,5'-dichlor)-diphenyl-methane or 2-hydroxy-diphenyl have a strong activity against micro-organisms. The combination can be employed e.g. for protecting industrial materials against microbicidal decomposition.
Abstract:
Flame resistant fabrics having antimicrobial properties that combat odor and/or resist hazardous microorganisms. The fabrics are particularly suitable for use in clothing and more particularly in protective garments designed to be worn by individuals, such as military personnel and emergency rescue personnel, at risk of exposure to fire and extreme temperatures as well as hazardous substances. The fabrics may be formed in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, incorporating antimicrobial fibers into the flame resistant fabric yarn or by treating the pre-formed flame resistant yarn or fabric with antimicrobial agents in a dyeing or finishing process.
Abstract:
A non-woven fabric treated with a biocidal composition including at least one halogenated phenolic biocide; a water soluble, film forming polymer which is a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer; and at least one surfactant, wherein a complex is formed between the halogenated phenolic biocide and the polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer so that, after treatment of the non-woven fabric therewith and drying, no cloudy residue remains on the non-woven fabric. A method of impregnating a fabric to prevent rot includes contacting a non-woven fabric with a liquid biocidal composition containing at least one halogenated phenolic biocide, a water soluble, film forming polymer, which is a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer; and at least one surfactant, wherein a complex is formed between the halogenated phenolic biocide and the polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer so that, after contacting the non-woven fabric with the liquid biocidal composition and drying, no cloudy residue remains on the non-woven fabric.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to cosmetic applicators comprised of a sheet of porous or absorbent material which is impregnated with an oil-in-water emulsion composition. The oil-in-water emulsion compositions comprises an oil phase comprising from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion composition of an oil-soluble moisturizing agent, dispersed in an aqueous phase. The oil-soluble moisturizer has a mean particle size ranging from about 0.05 to about 7 microns. The oil-in-water emulsion comprises from about 0.1% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion of a surfactant and from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight of the emulsion of particulates. The viscosity of the oil-in-water emulsion composition ranges from about 1 to about 500 centipoise.
