Method for protecting fabrics, plastics, paints, etc. from fungal and/or bacterial attack comprising treating same with N-(2-methyl-1-naphthyl) maleimide.

Method for protecting industrial substrates from fungal or bacterial

It has been found that N-phenylmaleimides carrying certain haloalkylsulfonyl substituents are excellent industrial biocides.

N-substituted maleimides in liquid concentrates

N-(2-Methyl-1-naphthyl) maleimide has been found to be a potent biocide capable of protecting fabrics, plastics, paints, etc. from fungal and/or bacterial attack.

Industrial biocides

By the addition of a relatively small amount of N-(acenaphthenyl)maleimides carrying optional substituents, synthetic films, plastics, woven or knitted synthetic or cellulosic fabrics, or paint can be protected against fungal and bacterial deterioration.

N-(Acenaphthenyl)maleimides

The addition of a 2-mercaptobenzamide to cutting fluid prevents bacterial and fungal growth. Concentrated solutions thereof in certain organic solvents are also disclosed. One such solution provides additional protection against corrosion of the metal surfaces.

Biocidal additive for cutting fluids

N-(2-Methyl-1-naphthyl)-maleimide

N-Phenoxyphenyl or N-phenylthiophenyl maleimides or 2,3-dichloromaleimides carrying optional substituents in the phenyl rings are potent biocides capable of protecting fabrics and plastics from fungal or bacterial attacks.

By the addition of a relatively small amount of N-(phenoxyphenyl)maleimide or the corresponding 3,4-dichloromaleimide, synthetic films or plastics or woven or knitted synthetic or cellulosic fabrics can be protected against fungal and bacterial deterioration.
