COMBINATIONS OF ALKYLALKANOLAMINES AND ALKYBISALKANOLAMINES FOR ANTIMICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS

摘要

An antimicrobial composition includes an effective amount of a biocide, and a biocide enhancer consisting of one or more compounds according to formula (I) and one or more compounds according to formula (II): R¹-NH-CH₂CHR³OH (I) R²-NH(CH₂CHR⁴OH)₂ (II) wherein R¹ and R² are each individually selected from the group consisting of branched and linear C4 to C16 alkyl groups and wherein R³ and R⁴ are each individually H or methyl. Compositions incorporating these antimicrobial formulations may include treated fluids, for example organic fluids or mixtures of organic fluids and aqueous fluids. Such treated compositions may be used for metalworking or for any of a number of other applications.
