Cyclic N-halamine biocidal polymer compounds and methods of using the same wherein the functional groups halogenated hydantoins, triazine diones, imidazolidinones, and pyrimidinones are substituted onto inexpensive polymer units such as polystyrene, polyethylene, and modified polymethacrylamide are provided. These N-halamine polymers are stable, insoluble biocides which release only small amounts of free halogen and other impurities. They will be useful as disinfectants f or potable water, swimming pools, hot tubs, industrial water systems, cooling towers, air-conditioning systems, gas streams, paints, oils , ointments, fabrics, sterile bandages, coatings, hard surfaces, liners of containers, and the like.
