Abstract

A chemical fungicide tablet is disclosed and a method of producing such a tablet and a method of fungicidal treatment of a fluid reservoir through use of the tablet.

Description

"FUNGICIDE TABLET"
This invention relates generally to chemical tablets and, more specifically, to a chemical fungicide tablet and, still more specifically to a sodium pyridine thione tablet, to the method of compressively forming the tablet and to the method of employing that tablet in a fluid reservoir for fungicidal purpose.
Chemical tablets for fluid reservoir bactericidal purpose are known. No chemical fungicide tablet is known for that purpose. One bactericidal tablet is a 28.4 gm, 2.0 inch diameter, 0.428 inch high, 1.29 gm/cc density tris(hydroxymethyl) ni romethane known as the "Angus SST Sump Saving Tablet" available commercially from Angus Chemical Company. Sodium pyridine thione ("NaPT") in liquid form is presently used in fluid reservoirs for fungicidal purpose. Solid sodium pyridine thione is not currently available for these applications. Sodium pyridine thione powder is a powerful sternutator (sneeze inducer) and therefore difficult to handle in powder form. While the liquid NaPT is completely water soluble and is highly effective in the proper dosage, measuring liquids for the proper dosing of small reservoirs (10-500 gallons) is difficult for those in charge of maintenance of the fluid reservoirs. The primary type of fluid reservoir involved is a small (10-500 gallon) fluid sump for etalworking equipment and the normal person in charge of the sump is the machinist. Machinists are normally not skilled in bacteriology or chemistry, so proper dosing with a liquid dosant can be problematic. Difficulties in measuring small quantities of liquids leads to overdosing and to greater incidence of dermal contact through spilling. These problems are solved in the tablet of the present invention and in the process of making the tablet and in the process of using the tablet by providing a chemical fungicide tablet which dissolves quickly. The dosing problem is solved in that the tablet can be made of a size and composition which achieves the proper dosage (or some specific portion of the dosage if multiple tablets doses are used) and which need not be handled by the machinist or other operator of the fluid reservoir. It is an object of the present invention to provide a fast dissolving fungicidal tablet.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a sodium pyrithione tablet.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a rapidly dissolving sodium pyrithione tablet. It is an object of the present invention to provide a process for making a chemical fungicide (preferably a sodium pyrithione) tablet that will rapidly dissolve. It is another object of the present invention to provide a method of fungicidal treatment of a fluid reservoir which method uses a rapidly dissolving chemical tablet.
It is a preferred feature of the present invention that the tablet has a moisture content of less than about 7.5% by weight and more preferably within the range of from about 0.25% to about 7.5%.
It is an advantage of the present invention that the tablet is capable of achieving an effective dosage within approximately 30 minutes with a tablet surface area of less than 5 square inches.
It is another advantage of the present invention that the tablet is relatively strong, preferably having a compressive yield strength of at least about 90 pounds.
These and other objects, features and advantages are obtained by the tablet and methods of the present invention. The tablet of the invention is preferably a sodium pyridine thione fungicidal chemical tablet.
Other fungicides useful in fabricating the tablet include zinc pyrithione; l,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one;
3-iodo-2-ρropynyl butyl carbamate; 2-bromo-2-nitropropan-l,3-diol;
1,2-dibromo-2,4-dicyanobutane;
2-(4-thiazolyl)-benzimidazole;
2,4,5, 6-Tetrachloroisophthalonitrile; l-imidazoyl-l-(4 •-chlorophenoxy)-3,3-dimethylbutan-2- one; l-hydroxy-4-methyl-6-(2,4,4-trimethylpentyl)-2(1H)- pyridone and salts;
2-(thiocyanomethylthio)benzothiazole and combinations thereof. Preferably the tablet is a fungicidal tablet for fluid reservoir treatment, which tablet comprises compressed granules of sodium pyrithione.
The method of manufacturing the tablet is a method of forming a chemical fungicide tablet, which method comprises the steps of:
(a) introducing a quantity of granular solid chemical fungicide into a tabletting mold, the chemical fungicide granules having a moisture content of less than about 7.5% by weight and more preferably within the range of from about 0.25% to about 7.5%;
(b) compressing the introduced granules into a tablet with a density of at least 0.6 gm/cc and more preferably greater than 1.0 gm/cc; and
(c) ejecting the tablet from the die without breaking the tablet.
The method of treatment using the tablet is a method of fungicidal treatment of a fluid reservoir, which method comprises the steps of:
(a) introducing at least one chemical fungicide tablet into the fluid reservoir;
(b) dissolving the introduced tablet in the reservoir fluid at a rate of at least 0.5 grams per minute in order to obtain a fungicidally effective concentration of chemical fungicide in the reservoir.
The chemical fungicide employed in the present invention is sodium pyrithione.
The sodium pyrithione suitably employed in the process of the present invention is a well known commercial product and is commonly made by reacting 2-chloropyridine-N-oxide with NaSH and NaOH, as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,159,640.
The process of making the tablet of the present invention includes the steps of: (a) introducing a quantity of granular chemical fungicide into a tabletting mold, the chemical fungicide granules having a moisture content of less than about 7.5% and preferably within the range of from about 0.25% up to about 7.5% by weight; (b) compressing the introduced granules into a tablet with a density of at least 0.6 gm/cc preferably greater than 1.0 gm/cc; and (c) ejecting the tablet from the die without breaking the tablet.
The method preferably further comprises the step of coating with a lubricating compound the portion of the tableting mold which is intended to contact the chemical fungicide granules. The lubricating compound is preferably tetrafluoroethylene although any other lubricating compound, such as a stearate compound, which is non-reactive with chemical fungicide and which does not adhere to chemical fungicide can be utilized.
The invention also provides the method of fungicidal treatment of a fluid reservoir, which method comprises the steps of: (a) introducing at least one chemical fungicide tablet into the fluid reservoir; (b) dissolving the introduced tablet in the reservoir fluid at a rate of at least 0.5 grams per minute to obtain a fungicidally effective concentration of chemical fungicide in the reservoir. Metalworking fluids are complex solutions or emulsions of agents designed but not limited to: minimize friction and remove heat; to protect against corrosion; to keep the solution stable; to lubricate and reduce surface tension; to provide extreme-pressure lubrication and to provide microbial protection. The typical ingredients found in metalworking fluid compositions consists of: water; mineral oil; sulfonates; non-ionic, anionic, and cationic surfactants; polyalkylene glycols; fatty acids; carboxylic acid esters; phosphate esters; chlorinated and sulfurized extreme pressure agents; ethanolamines; amine borates; biocides; fragrances; and dyes. The preferred fungicide is sodium pyrithione. A 15 gram tablet has been found to be a preferred size to serve as a single tablet dosage for small fluid reservoirs and a suitable size for larger reservoirs, as well, since for larger reservoirs the dosage can be applied by use of multiple tablets. The sodium pyrithione dissolves rapidly in the fluid, normally water, so that a fungicidally effective concentration of 60 ppm is reached within less than 30 minutes. In contrast, the bactericidal 28gm Angus SST tablets noted above must reach a concentration of 600 ppm to be effective as a bactericide. An advantage of sodium pyrithione in the fungicidal treatment of fluid reservoirs is the relatively low concentration that is fungicidally effective.

was placed in a one inch diameter tabletting mold cavity of cylindrical shape and compressed with a Carver Model B press at room temperature (about twenty-two degrees Centigrade) and a pressure of 12,700 psi for a duration of about 1-2 seconds. The particles had a water content of approximately 0.4% and the finished tablet had a water content of approximately 0.4%. The finished tablet had a compressive yield strength (crush strength) of about 105 pounds. The finished sodium pyrithione tablet was placed in a 5 gallon tank of water with one-half gallon per minute circulation in and out of the tank and was found to dissolve at a rate in excess of 15 gm/30 min. An effective fungicidal concentration of 790 ppm (well in excess of the fungicidally effective concentration of 60 ppm) was achieved in less than 30 minutes, indicating satisfactory dissolving rate.

was placed in a one inch diameter tabletting mold cavity of cylindrical shape and compressed at room temperature (about 22 degrees Centigrade) and a pressure of 12,700 psi for a duration of about 1-2 seconds. The particles had a water content of approximately 3.8% and the finished tablet had a water content of approximately 3.8%. The finished tablet had a compressive yield strength (crush strength) of >350 pounds.
While the invention has been described above with references to specific embodiments thereof, it is apparent that many changes, modifications and variations in the materials, arrangements of parts and steps can be made without departing from the inventive concept disclosed herein. For example, in employing the tablet of the present invention, the tablet could have any desired shape and size. Accordingly, the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims is intended to embrace all such changes, modifications and variations that may occur to one of skill in the art upon a reading of the disclosure.
