Description

  The present invention relates to a microbial control agent and a microbial control method for aqueous water such as an open circulation cooling water system.

  As a microorganism control agent in an open circulation cooling water system, particularly as a bacterial control agent, isothiazolone compounds, particularly 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one has a wide antibacterial spectrum, is water-soluble and easy to handle, and It has been widely used because of its low toxicity (Japanese Patent Publication No. 58-4682 (Patent Document 1)).

  However, since 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is unstable and has a high decomposition rate, there is a difficulty in sustaining the effect, and a long-term stable slime control that improves this point. 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one has been proposed as an agent (Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2002-193712 (Patent Document 2)).

  According to this technique, although the improvement in the sustainability of the effect, which is a problem in the past, is markedly improved, 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one is a 5-chloro-2-methyl-4-isothiazoline. Since the sterilizing power itself is weak compared with -3-one, there arises a problem that a large amount of a drug needs to be added in order to exert the effect.

  Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-71213 (Patent Document 3) discloses an industrial disinfectant that uses a combination of tetrakis (hydroxymethyl) phosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, which is a kind of phosphonium salt. However, this technique has been problematic because a sufficient bactericidal effect cannot be obtained.

However, even when added at a low concentration, the present inventors have found that a high microorganism control effect is exhibited, and the present invention has been achieved.

  That is, in order to solve the above problems, the microorganism control agent of the present invention effectively uses tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one as described in claim 1. It is a microorganism control agent characterized by containing as a component.

  Moreover, the microorganisms control method of the present invention adds tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one as active ingredients to aqueous water as described in claim 2. This is a method for controlling microorganisms.

  The present invention can maintain an excellent microbial control effect by combining tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt with 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one, and combining these By adding to the microbial control target water system water, a high microbial control effect can be obtained even with a low concentration while maintaining the sustainability of the effect.

  As described above, the microorganism control agent of the present invention contains both tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one as active ingredients. Synergistic and superior microbial control effects can be sustained, and by combining them and adding them to the microbial control target water system water, it is possible to synergize even at low concentrations while maintaining the sustainability of the effects. High microbial control effect can be obtained.

  In the present invention, tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one are in a weight ratio of 1: 100 to 100: 1 (including boundary values; the same applies hereinafter). Since it is possible to obtain a high effect, it is preferable. A more preferred range is 1:10 to 10: 1.

  In the microorganism control agent of the present invention, the above-mentioned two components may be added as one agent, or two components may be added to the aqueous water one component at a time, and both may coexist. In addition, these chemical | medical agents melt | dissolve in water and are stable as one agent.

  Tri-n-butyl-n-dodecylphosphonium salt and 2-methyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one are 2 mg / L or more and 1000 mg / L as total addition concentration of these active ingredients with respect to aqueous water for the purpose of controlling microorganisms. It is preferable to add so that it may become L or less. If the addition concentration is less than 2 mg / L, a sufficient effect may not be obtained, and even if the addition concentration exceeds 1000 mg / L, it is difficult to obtain an increase in the microorganism control effect commensurate with the increase in the addition amount. The optimal addition range is 10 mg / L or more and 100 mg / L or less.
