- a composition comprising 50% THPS, 5% sodium salt of a sulphonated mono/di alkylated diphenyl oxide and 0.5% of a 30% solution of 2, 5, 8, 11- tetramethyldodeca-6-yne-5,8-diol in dipropylene glycol, sold under the Registered Trade Mark "SURFYNOL" DF110D, was found to provide effective biocidal control of sessile and planktonic, aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, fungi and algae when dosed at 500pm. Foaming, compared with a control containing no antifoam, was inhibited by 67%. The composition was stable to storage after twelve months. A control composition containing a silicone antifoam had undergone separation after standing for 48 hours.
- compositions listed in table 1 were prepared and tested for foaming by shaking a 20cm 3 sample in a 50cm 3 measuring cylinder. Foam height was measured immediately after shaking, and after 10 seconds, at concentrations of the sample 100ppm and lOOOppm and the results are listed in table 2.
- Example 2 was repeated using the following surfactants in place of sodium lauryl sulphate. In each case satisfactory foam characteristics were observed:-
