First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A preservative formulation comprising a combination of a bactericidal compound and a fungicidal compound in a synergistically effective concentration, wherein the respective combination is selected from the group consisting of methylisothiazolinone/piroctone olamine; caprylyl glycol/dehydroacetic acid; undecanol/dehydroacetic acid and lauryl alcohol/sorbic acid. 2. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the bactericidal compound is present in a concentration of 1% to 5%, when the bactericidal compound is methylisothiazolinone, and 25% to 75% when the bactericidal compound is caprylyl glycol, undecanol and lauryl alcohol. 3. The formulation according to claim 2 , wherein the bactericidal compound is present in a concentration of 1.5% to 3% when the bactericidal compound is methylisothiazolinone, and 30% to 70% when the bactericidal compound is caprylyl glycol, undecanol and lauryl alcohol. 4. The formulation according to claim 1 , wherein the fungicidal compound is present in a concentration of 25% to 99%. 5. The formulation according to claim 4 , wherein the fungicidal compound is present in a concentration of 30% to 95%. 6. A method of reducing the bacterial and fungal load of a preparation comprising adding the preservative formulation according to claim 1 to the preparation. 7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein the preparation is selected from the group consisting of personal, household and industrial products, formulations and preparations. 8.
