Compositions comprising an ionene polymer and a salt of dodecylamine are disclosed which are synergistically effective compared to the respective components alone in controlling the growth of microorganisms in or on a material or medium. Methods to control the growth of microorganisms with the use of the compositions of the present invention are also disclosed.

Synergistic antimicrobial compositions containing an ionene polymer and

Compositions for controlling the growth of microorganisms in or on a product, material, or medium comprising synergistically effective amounts of (a) dodecylmorpholine or a salt thereof and (b) dodecylamine or a salt thereof are disclosed. Methods to control the growth of microorganisms and prevent spoilage caused by microorganisms with the use of the compositions of the present invention are also disclosed.

Tabletized ionene polymers, methods for their preparation and their use in water treatment is described. The tablet contains about 5 to about 60 percent by weight of an ionene polymer, about 40 to about 95 percent by weight of a salt carrier matrix, 0 to about 10 percent by weight of a disintegration rate regulator, and 0 to about 10 percent by weight of an anticaking agent. The tablets may be made by mixing an aqueous solution of an ionene polymer with a carrier matrix to form a moist mass, drying the moist mass to form granules, reducing the granule size to form a powder, and compressing the powder into a tablet. The tablets are useful in a wide variety of water treatment applications. Accordingly, the specification describes a method for controlling the growth of microorganisms in an aqueous system. Using the method, one treats an aqueous system with an ionene polymer in an amount effective to control the growth of at least one microorganism. The ionene polymer is contained in a tablet of the invention.

Ionene polymers having biologically-active organic and/or inorganic anions are described. Methods to prepare the ionene polymers, compositions containing them and their methods of use are also described.

Ionene polymers containing biologically-active anions

An enzyme composition of matter is disclosed for reducing the amount of acylglycerol esters in water comprising a lipase enzyme, a non-ionic emulsifying agent, a water soluble organic acid preservative and a water soluble stabilizer. The lipase enzyme can be used in conjunction with other enzymes. The non-ionic emulsifying agent can comprise an alcohol ethoxylate, the water soluble organic acid preservative can comprise sorbic acid and the water soluble stabilizer can comprise glycerol. A method for treating water containing acylglycerol esters with the foregoing compositions is also disclosed.

A vacuum cleaner bag is treated with a dual component, antimicrobial composition which reduces harmful bacteria and fungi safely and effectively. The vacuum cleaner bag is used on an upright vacuum cleaner and includes a porous cloth body which is treated with the dual component, antimicrobial composition.

Method for manufacturing antimicrobial vacuum cleaner bag

A vacuum cleaner bag is treated with a dual component, antimicrobial composition which is attached to the bag material and reduces harmful bacteria and fungi safely and effectively. The vacuum cleaner bag is shown of the type used on an upright vacuum cleaner having an airflow generating means contained in a main housing for producing an airflow out of an air duct of the housing. The bag includes a porous cloth body defining a normally closed interior and a mouth opening. The mouth opening of the bag connects to the air duct of the main housing and produces airflow through the flexible body which exhausts into the atmosphere. A flexible oscillator tube, located in the bag interior, vibrates the bag during use to prevent the buildup and clumping of dirt on the bag interior sidewalls.
