Abstract
A process for the prevention of the growth of microorganisms, especially in industrial water, comprises contacting these microorganisms with an effective antimicrobial amount of a reaction product of .epsilon.-caprolactam and an N-alkylalkylene diamine with the reaction being carried out in the liquid phase for 3 to 20 hours at a temperature about 180.degree.C. The process further comprises incorporating into said industrial water an effective amount of a sequestering agent comprising a water-soluble phosphonic acid which forms a complex with a divalent metal, a water-soluble salt of the acid and the mixtures thereof, with the weight ratio of sequestering agent to reaction product being 1:10 to 10:1.
