<p>Aqueous antimicrobial compositions which comprise a halogenated amide antimicrobial, such as 2,2-dibromo-nitrilopropionamide, a water miscible organic solvent such as a straight chain polyalkylene glycol (e.g., polyethylene glycol 200) or an ether thereof (e.g., a mono- or di-lower alkyl and/or phenyl ether) and water axe stabilized against decomposition of the halogenated amide antimicrobial by the addition of an aldehyde stabilizer, such as formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, N-formylpiperidine, or vanillin. The compositions so stabilized exhibit reduced rates of decomposition of the halogenated amide antimicrobial relative to the corresponding non-stabilized aqueous compositions. 18,498-F</p> |
