Abstract

The present invention relates to stable compositions for the fungicidal equipment of thermoplastic polymers, in particular PVC, comprising thiabendazole, at least one iodine-containing fungicide and at least one epoxide and optionally further fungicidally active compounds, and also to methods for preparing these formulations and to uses thereof for the protection of thermoplastic polymers against attack and destruction by microorganisms. Moreover, the invention relates to mold-resistant PVC materials equipped with the compositions according to the invention.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A fungicidal composition comprising:
at least one epoxide selected from triglycerides of epoxidized fatty acids whose fatty acids have a carbon length of 17 to 23 carbon atoms and contain at least one epoxide group; and
fungicide components having fungicidal activity, the fungicide components comprising:
thiabendazole, salts of thiabendazole, and/or acid addition compounds of thiabendazole, and
at least one iodine-containing fungicide selected from 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC), diiodomethyl-p-tolylsulfone, and mixtures thereof,

wherein a ratio of epoxides to iodine-containing fungicides is 10:1 to 1:10.

2. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the epoxides are selected from the group consisting of linseed oil epoxidates, vernonia oil epoxidates, sunflower oil epoxidates, castor oil epoxidates, and soybean oil epoxidates.

3. The composition as claimed in claim 1 , wherein he ratio of epoxides to iodine-containing fungicides is 2:1 to 1:2.

4. The composition according to claim 1 , further comprising at least one of algaecides and further fungicidally active compounds.

5. The composition according to claim 4 , wherein the at least one further fungicidally active compound is selected from the group consisting of triazoles, imidazoles, pyridines, pyrimidines, naphthalene derivatives, sulfenamides, benzimidazoles, morpholine derivatives, benzothiazoles, benzothiophene dioxides, benzamides, boron compounds, isothiazolinones, thiocyanates, quaternary ammonium compounds, A guanidines, iodine derivatives, phenols, methoxyacrylates, oxides, dithiocarbamates, nitriles, quinolones, and Ag-, Zn- or Cu-containing zeolites.

6. The fungicidal composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iodine-containing fungicide is 3-iodo-2-propynyl butylcarbamate (IPBC).

7. The fungicidal composition according to claim 1 , wherein the iodine-containing fungicide is diiodomethyl-p-tolylsulfone.

8. A polymeric product comprising a thermoplastic polymer and the fungicidal composition as claimed in claim 1 .

9. The polymeric product as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising at least one plasticizer and at least one thixotropic agent.

10. The polymeric product as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the thixotropic agents are triglycerides of castor oil derivatives, triglycerides of ricinoleic acid, or triglycerides of hydrogenated ricinoleic acid (12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid), their esters or their amides and also their salts.

11. The polymeric product as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the thermoplastic polymer is polyvinyl chloride.

12. A process for preparing the polymeric product as claimed in claim 10 , the process comprising mixing the fungicidal composition with, and Incorporating the fungicidal composition into the thermoplastic polymer.

13. A process to protect polymeric products against attack and destruction by microorganisms, the process comprising adding the composition according to claim 1 to a thermoplastic polymer composition.

14. A process for protecting polyvinyl chloride against attack and destruction by microorganisms, the process comprising adding the composition according to claim 1 to a polyvinyl composition.
