Claim 4

said plasticizer to form a single phase system. 5. A composition according to claim 4 wherein the phenoxarsine compound is present in the form of the

Claim 5

solute in a nonyl phenol solution. 6. A composition according to claim 4 wherein the phenoxarsine is present in the form of the solute in a mixture

Claim 6

of disecondary amyl phenol and nonyl phenol. 7. A composition of matter comprising a uniform admixture of vinyl resin and a vinyl resin plasticizer containing a microbicidal amount of a phenoxarsine compound selected from the group consisting of 10-halophenoxarsines, alkyl substituted 10-halophenoxarsines, halogen substituted .Iadd.10-halophenoxarsines .Iaddend.and derivatives of phenoxarsines wherein said derivatives are selected from the group consisting of 10,10'-oxybis phenoxarsine, 10-thiocyanato phenoxarsine and 10,10'thiobis phenoxarsine present in said plasticizer as the solute in a solvent selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, chlorinated phenols, amino phenols, dihydric phenols, aliphatic alcohols having 5 to 12 carbon atoms and monocarbocyclic acids having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, said solvent and solute being uniformly distributed in said plasticizer to

Claim 7

form a single phase system. 8. A composition of matter comprising a uniform mixture of approximately 1000 parts by weight of liquid polyvinyl chloride resin, 435 parts by weight of dioctyl azelate, 0.5 parts by weight of 10,10'-oxybis phenoxarsine, 2 parts by weight of nonyl phenol, 47.5 parts of epoxidized soya, 15 parts by weight of barium-cadmium-zinc soap, said 10,10'-oxybis phenoxarsine being present as a solute in the nonyl phenol solution which is uniformly distributed in said epoxidized

Claim 8

soya forming a single phase system. 9. A method according to claim .[.1.]. .Iadd.11 .Iaddend.in which the solvent solution of phenoxarsine is distributed uniformly in a plasticizer for vinyl resins to form a single

Claim 9

phase system prior to admixing with vinyl resin material. 10. The method according to claim 9 in which the resultant solution produced by the uniform distribution of a phenoxarsine compound in a plasticizer for vinyl resins, is mixed with soap and liquid vinyl resin to form a plastisol and the plastisol then processed to desired physical form. .Iadd. 11. A method of incorporating microbicidal amounts of phenoxarsine compounds into vinyl resin material which comprises dissolving a phenoxarsine compound selected from the group consistng of 10-halophenoxarsines, alkyl substituted 10-halophenoxarsines, halogen substituted 10-halophenoxarsines and derivatives of phenoxarsines wherein said derivatives of selected from the group consisting of 10,10'-oxybis phenoxarsine, 10-thiocycanato phenoxarsine and 10,10'-thiobis phenoxarsine, in a solvent selected from the group consisting of phenol, alkyl phenols, chlorinated phenols, amino phenols, dihydric phenols, aliphatic alcohols having 5 to 12 carbon atoms and monocarbocyclic acids having 5 to 12 carbon atoms, admixing said solvent solution with said vinyl resin material in an amount to provide a microbicidal amount of said phenoxarsine compound in said vinyl resin material and processing said admixture to desired solid physical form. .Iaddend.
