DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A method for protecting a plastic or film-forming polymer composition which is fabricated into a continuous form, against attack by bacteria, fungi, or actinomycetes, comprising incorporating into said composition or continuous form, a microbiocidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR6## in which R is lower alkyl; X is halogen or lower alkyl; m is 1 or 2; and n is 0, 1, 2 or 3.
2.
A method according to claim 1 in which R is C.
sub.
1 -C.
sub.
4 alkyl.
3.
A method according to claim 2 in which m is 1 and n is 0.
4.
A method according to claim 3 in which R is methyl.
5.
A method according to claim 1 in which the compound is included in the continuous form in an amount from about 0.
001 to about 2.
0% by weight.
6.
A method according to claim 1 in which the compound is included in an amount of from about 0.
01 to about 1.
0% by weight.
7.
A plastic or film composition containing a polymer and further containing a microbiocidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR7## in which R is lower alkyl; X is halogen or lower alkyl; m is 1 or 2; and n is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
8.
A plastic or film-forming composition knitted or woven into a continuous form, coated with a microbiocidally effective amount of a compound having the formula ##STR8## in which R is lower alkyl; X is halogen or lower alkyl; m is 1 or 2; and n is 0, 1, 2, or 3.
Description:
BACKGROUND AND PRIOR ART This invention relates to a series of novel compounds which have been found useful as microbiocides in controlling bacteria, fungi, actinomycetes and algae.
These compounds, as will be seen from the data below, have particular utility as general algicides and biocides, particularly for the protection of plastics and polymeric materials against attack by microorganisms.
The invention also relates to methods of controlling algae, bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, and for protecting plastic or polymeric compositions from attack by microorganisms by the use of an algicidally or microbiocidally effective amount of such novel compounds, and to compositions containing such effective amounts of such compounds
