Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An aqueous composition comprising: (a) silver ion; (b) a polymer comprising at least 10 wt % polymerized units of vinylimidazole; and (c) an amino alcohol comprising at least two hydroxyl groups, comprising no carboxyl groups and having a vapor pressure at 25° C. of no more than 0.025 Pa. The molar ratio of vinylimidazole:silver is at least 3:1.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

1 . An aqueous composition comprising: (a) silver ion; (b) at least one polymer comprising at least 10 wt % polymerized units of vinylimidazole; and (c) at least one amino alcohol comprising at least two hydroxyl groups, comprising no carboxyl groups and having a vapor pressure at 25° C. of no more than 0.025 Pa; wherein a molar ratio of vinylimidazole:silver is at least 3:1. 2 . The aqueous composition of claim 1 in which the polymer comprises at least 20 wt % polymerized units of vinylimidazole. 3 . The aqueous composition of claim 2 in which the amino alcohol is aliphatic and has from four to twelve carbon atoms. 4 . The aqueous composition of claim 3 in which a molar ratio of vinylimidazole:silver is at least 3.5:1. 5 . The aqueous composition of claim 4 in which the aqueous composition comprises from 0.5 to 100 ppm silver ion. 6 . The aqueous composition of claim 5 in which the polymer further comprises from 10 to 70 wt % of a polar monomer. 7 . A method for treating soft surfaces with silver ion; said method comprising applying to said soft surface an aqueous composition comprising: (a) silver ion; (b) at least one polymer comprising at least 10 wt % polymerized units of vinylimidazole; and (c) at least one amino alcohol comprising at least two hydroxyl groups, comprising no carboxyl groups and having a vapor pressure at 25° C. of no more than 0.025 Pa; wherein a molar ratio of vinylimidazole:silver is at least 3:1. 8 . The method of claim 7 in which the polymer comprises at least 20 wt % polymerized units of vinylimidazole. 9 . The method of claim 8 in which the amino alcohol is aliphatic and has from four to twelve carbon atoms. 10 . The method of claim 9 in which the molar ratio of vinylimidazole:silver is at least 3.5:1 the aqueous composition comprises from 0.5 to 100 ppm silver ion.
