Bactericidal activity of copper methacrylate-glycolate obtained as described in Example 1, copper acrylate-tartrate obtained as described in Example 9 and zinc acrylate-malonate obtained as described in Example 5 is determined according to the known method (RU 2378363, C12N 1/00, C12Q 1/00, 2010) based on the exposure of a bacterial culture in a solution of bactericidal substance for a certain period of time followed by its neutralization and inoculation of the culture on a solid nutrient medium. The sensitivity of microorganisms to a disinfectant is judged by microorganism growth on the nutrient medium up to 300 CFU/ml (CFU colony-forming unit) while growth up to 100 CFU/ml indicates incomplete bactericidal effect, growth up to 100-300 CFU/ml indicates sub-bactericidal effect and growth up to more than 300 CFU/ml indicates resistance of microorganisms to a disinfectant, The determination is performed on E. coli No. 906 and S. aureus No. 1257 test strains conventionally used to study the bactericidal activity of biocides as well as on clinical strain P. aeruginosa at salt concentrations from 1.5 to 3% and time of exposure from 5 to 60 min. Test results are given in Table 2. It follows from Table 2 that copper methacrylate-glycolate, copper acrylate-tartrate and zinc acrylate-malonate at concentration of 2.0% exhibit stable bactericidal effect against investigated strains at time of exposure from 30 min.
The fungicidal activity of the proposed salts is determined according to GOST 30028.4-2006 by testing samples of various materials treated with these salts for resistance to fungal spores, Test results in terms of tolerance time (in days) are given in Table 3 wherein tolerance time for untreated materials are given for comparison,
