An antimicrobial substance contains as an active ingredient an ethylene copolymer comprising 40 to 95% by weight of ethylene, 5 to 60% by weight of at least one dialkylaminoalkylacrylamide comonomer represented by:
wherein R₁ represents hydrogen or methyl; R₂ and R₃, each represents C1-4 alkyl and n is 2, 3, 4 or 5 and optionally up to 20% by weight of one or more other ethylenically unsaturated comonomers (e.g. methyl acrylate), and has a number average molecular weight of from 5,000 to 50,000.
A biocidal metal ion (e.g. Ag, Cu, Zn) can be admixed in up to 5% by weight.
The copolymer can be used as an aquous dispersion or as a molded product, or in amount of 0.1 to 50 parts per 100 parts of another thermoplastic polymer (e.g. a polyolefin, chlorine-containing polymer, polyester or polyamide).
The substance is effective in controlling numerous phytopathogens and other industrially harmful bacteria and fungi and can be incorporated in various preparations and products.
