One or more systems, products, and methods are disclosed to provide for a concentrated surface treatment product, and the preparation, packaging, and application of the concentrated surface treatment product. The product can be easily stored, transported, and packaged in a variety of means while mitigating separation of the components of the surface treatment. The concentrated surface treatment product may be diluted using a solvent such as water by the end-user, allowing a user to mix only what is needed for the project and store the rest with less risk of separation than conventional surface treatments. The concentrated surface treatment may be packaged in a polymer pouch, a dissolvable solid, or in a spray nozzle, and when exposed to water, the concentrated surface treatment mixes and may be applied to a target surface.

A coating composition is provided for inhibiting growth of fungus and/or algae on a surface. The coating composition includes a dry film preservative and an antibacterial dry-film preservative comprising an immobilized isothiazolin-3-one derivative/zinc oxide complex. The amount of the antibacterial preservative comprising immobilized 1,2-isothiazolin-3-one derivative/zinc oxide complex and the dry film preservative contained in the coating composition is sufficient to inhibit or prevent the defacement of a surface exposed to the environment, when such defacement is due to growth of fungi or algae, or a combination of fungi and algae on a surface coated with said surface coating composition.

Antimicrobial polymer composite materials are disclosed that are suitable for making oral devices used in dental applications, such as denture bases. Acrylic resin composite materials comprising antimicrobial polymers and antimicrobial fillers provide reduction in common oral microorganisms after long-term aging, with reduced release rate of antimicrobial agents from the composite material. Antimicrobial polymers are prepared from compositions comprising acrylate and/or methacrylate monomers and polymerizable quaternary ammonium silicon-containing compounds.

Provided are a coating material and a coating method capable of making an antibacterial effect and an antiviral effect of a superficial layer of a coating target compatible for a long period of time. The coating material contains a coating agent in which inorganic polysilazane and an alkyl silicate condensate are dissolved in an inert solvent at a total concentration of 50 to 80 mass%, as a base agent, an inorganic antibacterial agent added to the base agent at a ratio of 0.1 to 5 mass%, and an inorganic antiviral agent added to the base agent at a ratio of 0.1 to 20 mass%.

The present invention relates to antifouling compositions comprising compounds of formula IA and/or IB that are highly effective against marine biofouling of surfaces of ships and marine structures, their use for inhibiting marine biofouling, as well as antifouling paints comprising said compositions.

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.

Charged polymeric webs, such as electret webs, include a thermoplastic resin and a charge-enhancing additive. The charge-enhancing additive is a dual-function charge-enhancing additive that enhances the charge of the electret and also has anti-microbial properties. The additives are substituted-benzimidazole or substituted-benzothiazole compounds. The electret webs may be a non-woven fibrous web or a film. The electret webs are suitable for use as filter media.

A flame-retardant antimicrobial agent is a polymer microsphere with the surface grafted thereof with a guanidine salt. The polymer microsphere has a cross-linked structure composed of a structural unit A derived from maleic anhydride, a structural unit B derived from a monomer M, and a structural unit C derived from a cross-linking agent. The monomer M is selected from a C.sub.4-C.sub.9 aliphatic olefin or a mixture thereof, and the guanidine salt comprises at least one guanidine salt having the property of flame resistance. The flame-retardant antimicrobial agent has both a good antimicrobial effect and a good flame-retardant effect. A flame-retardant antimicrobial thermoplastic resin composition containing the flame-retardant antimicrobial agent also has a good flame-retardant and antimicrobial performance and a good overall performance.
