PROCESS FOR THE TREATMENT OF WATER AND SURFACES IN CONTACT THEREWITH TO PREVENT MACROORGANISMS INCRUSTATION AND ELIMINATE AND CONTROL THE SAME, AND COMPOSITION AND PAINT FOR SAID TREATMENT.
Treatment of water and surfaces in contact with water comprises using a compsn. contg. at least one polyamine of formula (I) R1-NH-((CH2)3-NH)n-(CH2)3-NH2 and at least one monoamine of formula (II) R2NH2 are new. In the formulae, R1 is 8-22C alkyl or alkenyl; n is 0-3; R2 is 8-22C alkyl or alkenyl. Also claimed are: (A) a compsn. contg. (I) and (II) where R1 is dodecyl, tetradecyl or octadecenyl; (B) a paint used for this method comprising: (i) 1 pt. polyamine of formula (I) where R1 is dodecyl and/or at least a polyamine of formula (I) where R1 is tetradecyl; and (ii) 2 nd part polyamine(s) of formula (I) where R1 is octadecenyl.
