Some Auxiliary Effects of Textile Fungicides1

An Approach to the Kinetics of Microbiological Deterioration

“…Hydrolysis of fungicides and the activity of ionized acids released by this process under conditions of high temperature were reported by Bayley and Canadian co-workers. Hydrolytic changes in copper naphthenate (Bayley and Weatherburn, 1946;Bayley, 1956) and 2, 2'-methylene-bis-(4-chlorophenol) (Rose et al, 1957) were found to impair the tensile strength of the fabrics to which these compounds were applied.…”
