USE OF POLYMERIC GUANIDINES FOR CONTROLLING MICROORGANISMS

摘要

The invention relates to the use of polymeric guanidinium hydroxides for controlling microorganisms. Said polymeric guanidinium hydroxides are based on a diamine containing oxyalkylene chains and/or alkylene groups between two amino groups, and can be obtained by polycondensing a guanidine acid addition salt with the diamine, resulting in a polycondensation product in the form of a salt which is then converted into the hydroxide form by means of basic anion exchange.
