USE OF WATER-SOLUBLE POLYMERS TO IMPROVE STABILITY OF DIIODOMETHYL-PARA-TOLYLSULFONE IN COMPLEX MATRICES

摘要

The invention is a method comprising the use of diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone with water-soluble polymers, resulting in improved stability of diiodomethyl-para­tolylsulfone in various compositions with complex matrices. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone is premixed with a solution of cationic polymer prior to addition to a formulation containing a complex matrix of ingredients that degrade diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone. As a result, diiodomethyl-para-tolylsulfone retains its chemical stability and antimicrobial activity.
