Disclosed is an uncoated passenger contact component including a self-sanitizing polymer composition.

Described herein are compositions and methods for use in automotive care. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to water-based compositions comprising a silicone emulsion that are particularly beneficial as a gloss booster, enhancer, and/or sealant.

Termicidal compositions containing cold pressed orange oil with high concentration D-Limonene and acrylic lacquer for protective repellents against termite infestation and termiticides for the control of termites are provided. Wood preservative and protective compositions for repelling and killing wood boring insects are provided. In addition, the invention is directed to methods for repelling and killing termites by applying a pesticidally-effective amount of the above pesticidal compositions to cellulosic materials where pest control is desired.

Disclosed are compositions comprising a) an antimicrobial agent, which is selected from the group consisting of biocides containing halogen atoms and/or containing phenolic moieties, formic acid, chlorine dioxide, chlorine dioxide generating compounds, dialdehydes; components containing an antimicrobial metal such as antimicrobial silver, and b) a polyamine, especially a polyethylenimine. The polyamine is effective as a booster for the antimicrobial agent.

This invention refers to a paint composition with prolonged release biocides to repel, reduce, and control insects, characterized by: a) A cbp vehicle, preferably a water-based acrylic vinyl paint; b) At least one pyrethroid biocide or its mixture, selected from: b1) microencapsulated deltamethrin as an active ingredient; b2) microencapsulated cypermethrin as an active ingredient; Where said pyrethroid biocides are activated or catalyzed through (PBO) piperonyl butoxide, and Wherein said microcapsules of the active ingredients are obtained through a microencapsulation process by interfacial polymerization, and/or a microencapsulation by ionic gelation process, for a prolonged release with regards to the biocidal active ingredients' interval.

Methods of protecting a propeller include applying an inner polymer layer onto a propeller. The inner polymer layer is impregnated with a biologically active chemical substance that inhibits biofouling-induced chemical, biological, and bio-proliferative damage and that does not chemically or galvanically interact with a material of the propeller. An outer polymer layer is applied onto the inner polymer layer, the outer polymer layer being impregnated with a biologically active chemical substance that inhibits biofouling-induced chemical, biological, and bio-proliferative damage and that repels biofouling organisms to prevent invasion of the inner polymer layer.

The invention molecularly equips polyester or polyolefin molding compositions in situ with zinc ions before extrusion, enabling direct processing of the molding compositions from the melt even at high temperatures and ensuring a long-term antibacterial action. The inventive molding compositions include at least one polyester polymer or polyolefin polymer and at least one zinc salt-organoligand complex.

Provided are silicone-epoxy compositions, protective coatings formed from silicone-epoxy compositions, and methods of preparing the same.
