Biocides and preservatives are used in a wide range of industries to prevent microbiological contamination and the deterioration of commercial products, materials and systems. This book is a practical guide which provides details of the biological, physical and chemical properties of antimicrobial agents and the applications for which they can be used. Attention is paid to the legislation governing biocide use and only approved compounds are discussed. The practical approach of this volume should make this text useful to scientists and technical service personnel concerned with the preservation of foodstuffs, cosmetics, textiles and other commercial materials.
