Claims
- 1. A method of combating micro-organisms on or in organic or inorganic material and of protecting said material from micro-organisms, which comprises incorporating in said material or applying to the surface thereof a microbiocidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula ##STR42## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently represents hydrogen or chlorine, and each of R.sub.4, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 independently represents hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine, with the proviso that each phenyl nucleus contains at least one halogen atom, but the total number of halogen atoms in the molecule does not exceed 4.
- 2. A method according to claim 1 wherein the organic material is textile material made of synthetic man-made fibres, regenerated man-made fibres or natural fibres.
- 3. A method according to claim 1 of disinfecting laundry goods and of protecting them from attack by micro-organisms, which comprises treating textiles with liquors which contain at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1.
- 4. A method according to claim 1 of protecting non-textile plastics material from attack by micro-organisms, which comprises incorporating in said plastics material, in any phase of the processing, or also in the monomers before the polymerisation, at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1.
- 5. A method according to claim 1 for protecting technical formulations, especially formulations of dyes, pigments, textile assistants, binders, sizes and paints, from attack by micro-organisms, which comprises incorporating therein at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1.
- 6. A method according to claim 1 for protecting paper from attack by micro-organisms, which comprises incorporating in the pulp at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1.
- 7. A method according to claim 1 for protecting cosmetic preparations, especially toilet requisites, such as soaps, deodorant sprays, powders and ointments, from attack by micro-orgamisms, which comprises incorporating in said preparations, in any phase of their manufacture, at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1.
- 8. A composition for combatting harmful micro-organisms which contains, as active ingredient, a microbiocidally effective amount of at least one compound of the formula ##STR43## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen, fluorine or chlorine, each of R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 independently represents hydrogen or chlorine, each each of R.sub.4, R.sub.5, and R.sub.6 independently represents hydrogen, fluorine, chlorine or bromine, with the proviso that each phenyl nucleus contains at least one halogen atom, but the total number of halogen atoms in the molecule does not exceed 4, and a suitable carrier therefor.
- 9. A composition with disinfectant action according to claim 8, which, in addition to the active ingredient, contains at least one of the following adjuvants as solid or liquid carrier: a soap, a surfactant, a foaming agent, an emulsifier, a dispersant or wetting agent, water, an organic solvent, a light stabiliser, a fluorescent whitening agent or another microbicidal substance.
- 10. A composition according to claim 8 for protecting non-textile plastics material as well as fibrous material made of natural and synthetic fibres from attack by and damage from micro-organisms, which contains as active ingredient a microbiocidally effective amount of at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1 and a suitable carrier therefor.
- 11. A composition according to claim 8 for personal hygiene with disinfectant and deodorant action which contains, as active ingredient, a microbiocidally effective amount of at least one of the compounds defined in claim 1 and a suitable carrier therefor.
- 12. An antimicrobial soap according to claim 11 which contains 0.01 to 5% of said active ingredient.
