Described herein is a process for rapidly obtaining a stable freeze point depressed aqueous solution comprising a dialdehyde and an aliphatic monohydroxyl alcohol and/or polyhydroxyl alcohol by adding thereto a catalytic amount of a strong acid. Also included herein is a method for liberating the dialdehyde in the aqueous solution by dilution with water and the addition of a catalytic amount of a strong acid.

Acid addition to aqueous dialdehyde solutions

Novel mildewcidal compounds of the formula (RO).sub.3 Si(CH.sub.2).sub.3 XOAr wherein R is lower alkyl, X is --NHC(O)-- or --S(CH.sub.2).sub.2 C(O)--, and Ar is aryl, and their use in latex paints.

Mildewcidal silane compounds

Pentachlorophenyl 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl ether and its use as a mildewcide in latex paints.
