Abstract

Methods for preserving technical products such as fuels and lubricants with a microbicidal composition. The composition is made up of at least one formaldehyde donor compound and at least one antioxidant. The antioxidant is either a gallic ester, a phenol derivative, a L-ascorbic acid, including salts and derivatives thereof, a tocopherol or one of its associated derivatives.

Claims (92)

1. A method of preserving a technical product with a microbicial composition, comprising:

combining technical product with a microbicidal composition, wherein said composition comprises:

a) at least one formaldehyde donor compound, wherein said formaldehyde donor compound comprises N′,N′-methylenebis(5-methyloxazolidine) in the amount of about 99.90% to about 99.995% of the total composition weight;

b) an antioxidant, wherein said antioxidant comprises at least one gallic ester;

c) at least one solvent or solubility promoter; wherein said solvent comprises water in the amount of less than about 10% of total composition weight, and wherein said solubility promoter is in an amount of about 0% to about 99.995% of total composition weight; and

d) an additive, wherein said additive comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

1) corrosion inhibitors;

2) alkalizing agents;

3) dyes;

4) perfumes;

5) viscosity-modifying agents;

6) foam inhibitors;

7) emulsifiers;

8) stabilizers; and

9) biocides.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said technical product comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

a) cooling lubricants;

b) cooling lubricant concentrates;

c) fuels;

d) diesel fuel;

e) lubricants;

f) coatings;

g) paints;

h) technical dispersions for production parts;

i) emulsions for production parts; and

j) disinfectant cleaners for production parts.

3. A method of reducing susceptibility to a condition in a product, comprising:

adding a composition to a product to reduce susceptibility to a condition in said product wherein:

a) said condition comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

1) oxidation;

2) discoloration; and

3) deposits; and

b) said composition comprises;

1) at least one formaldehyde donor compound, wherein said formaldehyde donor compound comprises N′,N′-methylenebis(5-methyloxazolidine) in the amount of about 99.90% to about 99.995% of the total composition weight;

2) an antioxidant, wherein said antioxidant comprises at least one gallic ester;

3) at least one solvent or solubility promoter; wherein said solvent comprises water in the amount of less than about 10% of total composition weight, and wherein said solubility promoter is in an amount of about 0% to about 99.995% of total composition weight; and

4) an additive, wherein said additive comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

i) corrosion inhibitors;

ii) alkalizing agents;

iii) dyes;

iv) perfumes;

v) viscosity-modifying agents;

vi) foam inhibitors;

vii) emulsifiers;

viii) stabilizers; and

ix) biocides; and

c) said product comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

1) fuels; and

2) lubricants.

4. A method of improving low-temperature stability for flowability in a product, comprising:

adding a composition to a product to improve the low-temperature stability for flowability in said product, wherein:

a) said composition comprises;

1) at least one formaldehyde donor compound, wherein said formaldehyde donor compound comprises N′,N′-methylenebis(5-methyloxazolidine) in the amount of about 99.90% to about 99.995% of the total composition weight;

2) an antioxidant, wherein said antioxidant comprises at least one gallic ester;

3) at least one solvent or solubility promoter; wherein said solvent comprises water in the amount of less than about 10% of total composition weight, and wherein said solubility promoter is in an amount of about 0% to about 99.995% of total composition weight; and

4) an additive, wherein said additive comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

i) corrosion inhibitors;

ii) alkalizing agents;

iii) dyes;

iv) perfumes;

v) viscosity-modifying agents;

vi) foam inhibitors;

vii) emulsifiers;

viii) stabilizers; and

ix) biocides; and

b) said product comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

1) fuels; and

2) lubricants.

5. A method of prolonging the shelf life of a product, comprising:

adding a composition to a product to prolong the shelf life of said product, wherein:

a) said composition comprises;

1) at least one formaldehyde donor compound, wherein said formaldehyde donor compound comprises N′,N′-methylenebis(5-methyloxazolidine) in the amount of about 99.90% to about 99.995% of the total composition weight;

2) an antioxidant, wherein said antioxidant comprises at least one gallic ester;

3) at least one solvent or solubility promoter; wherein said solvent comprises water in the amount of less than about 10% of total composition weight, and wherein said solubility promoter is in an amount of about 0% to about 99.995% of total composition weight; and

4) an additive, wherein said additive comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

i) corrosion inhibitors;

ii) alkalizing agents;

iii) dyes;

iv) perfumes;

v) viscosity-modifying agents;

vi) foam inhibitors;

vii) emulsifiers;

viii) stabilizers; and

ix) biocides; and

b) said product comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of:

1) fuels; and

2) lubricants.

6. A method of reducing the deformation of a packaging, comprising:

enclosing a composition in said packaging, wherein said composition comprises:

a) said composition comprises;

1) at least one formaldehyde donor compound, wherein said formaldehyde donor compound comprises N′,N′-methylenebis(5-methyloxazolidine) in the amount of about 99.90% to about 99.995% of the total composition weight;

2) an antioxidant, wherein said antioxidant comprises at least one gallic ester.
