Abstract
Aqueous antimicrobial compositions which comprise a halogenated amide antimicrobial, such as 2,2-dibromonitrilopropionamide, a water miscible organic solvent such as a straight chain polyalkylene glycol (e.g., polyethylene glycol 200) or an ether thereof (e.g., a mono- or di- lower alkyl and/or phenyl ether) and water are stabilized against decomposition of the halogenated amide antimicrobial by the addition of a cyclic ether stabilizer such as tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydropyran, 1,4-dioxane, sym-trioxane, N-methyl morpholine, etc. The compositions, so stabilized, exhibit reduced rates of decomposition of the halogenated amide antimicrobial relative to the corresponding non-stabilized aqueous compositions.
