PURPOSE: To provide an antimicrobial composition for industrial purposes which contains, as active ingredients, a combination of benzalkonium chloride with a p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester, thus shows synergistically increased antimicrobial activity in comparison with their single applications. CONSTITUTION: This antimicrobial composition for industrial purposes, applicable to industrial raw materials such as textiles, pulp or the like and products therefrom, comprises a combination of benzalkonium chloride with a p- hydroxybenzoic acid ester. The weight ratio of the benzalkonium chloride to the p-hydroxybenzoic acid ester is preferably 100/1-1/1, particularly 50/1-10/1. This composition reveals markedly increased effect in comparison with their single uses and is excellent as an antimicrobial for textiles. |
