Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 75 words
A method of inhibiting microorganisms which comprises applying to said microorganisms an inhibitorily effective amount of a compound formed by the condensation of dimethylamine and epichlorohydrin in about a 1:1 molar ratio at a temperature of about 20° C. to about 30° C. for about 2 hours, and then heating the condensate at a temperature of between about 40° C. to about 90° C. for a period of between about 2 to about 12 hours.
