A method of manufacture of a soluble, microbiologically active and stable acrolein polymer is disclosed, wherein the method comprises the following steps in sequence: (a) polymerising acrolein in the presence of base to form a polymer of acrolein; (b) dissolving the polymer of acrolein in an alcohol selected from monoalcohols and polyols optionally with addition of water to form an alcohol solution of the polymer of acrolein and providing a pH of no more than 7; (c) heating the alcohol solution of the polymer of acrolein of pH of no more than 7 to react the polymer of acrolein with the alcohol; and (d) mixing a base with the polymer of acrolein.
