摘要 |
A highly stable liquid formulation having broad spectrum preservative properties which constitutes an admixture of a dialkanol-substituted DMH, an iodopropynyl compound, a stabilizer of a hydantoin, urea or derivative thereof, and a hydroxyl solvent. Preferably the constituents are dimethyloldimethylhydantoin, 3-iodo-2-propynylbutyl carbamate, dimethylhydantoin, and a glycol solvent. The preservative preferably has a total formaldehyde content of 5% and less than 0.2% of free formaldehyde. The composition is prepared by successively admixing the dialkanol-substituted dimethylhydantoin and the stabilizer, the hydroxyl solvent, and the iodopropynyl compound. Also described is a stabilized iodopropynyl compound preferably containing dimethylhydantoin as the stabilizer. |
