Thermal stabilization of IPBC biocide

摘要

A biocide, e.g. IPBC (3-iodo-2-propynl butylcarbamate), is stabilized against thermal degradation in matrix compositions which are processed at elevated temperatures, by blending the IPBC with a stabilizer additive, e.g. calcium stearate and/or a hindered phenol, alone or in combination therewith.
