Systems for storing beverages are disclosed, which include a container for storing, transporting and dispensing a beverage, e.g. beer. In some implementations the container includes a pressure-tight lid closure system including wire bails.

Systems for storing beverages

A biocidal composition suitable for use as a stabilizer in polymer systems using 2-mercaptopyridene-1-oxide or a derivative combined with an organophosphorous compound and a benzotriazole wherein the organophosphorous compound and the benzotriazole act together to stabilize the mercaptopyridene against degradation and discoloration of the polymer system.

Stabilized 2-mercaptopyridene-1-oxide and derivatives

An antimicrobial solution of a microbiologically active organo sulfonyl ethylene dissolved in an organo phosphorus compound selected from the group consisting of organophosphites and organophosphonates.

Antimicrobial solution

A solid composition comprising a homogeneous mixture of a solid thermoplastic resin and from 1 to 80 weight % of at least one microbiocide which is insoluble in water, is readily dispersible or soluble in the resin at temperatures sufficiently high to permit plastic manipulation of the resin and the dispersion or solution of the microbiocide is sustained indefinitely upon cooling to ambient temperature while the diffusivity of the microbiocide in the resin under such conditions becomes vanishingly small, retains its microbiocidal activity in the resin and does not degrade or react with the resin in which it is dispersed. This compositon provides a convenient non-toxic dosage form of the microbiocide which is subsequently mixed with a second thermoplastic resin at a concentration of about 0.5 to 15 weight % to obtain a homogeneous resin composition containing an effective amount of the microbiocide.
