The germicidal performance of Anti-bac, a newly developed preparation based on the active agent 1,3-dichloro-5, 5-dimethylhydantoin, has been tested by several methods. The activity is of the same order as shown by hypochlorite preparations, and is superior under the adverse conditions of organic loading. Preliminary data are given for the effects of temperature and pH adjustment on performance, and on storage stability and action on metals. Antibac shows great promise for general disinfection and sanitation service, and in view of its combination of high germicidal activity and excellent resistance to depreciation may be used to advantage in fields hitherto dominated by hypochlorites. |
