Compositions containing polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups

Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions containing polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups. In particular, it relates to the use of polymeric, ionic compounds comprising imidazolium groups in personal care compositions and/or in biocide compositions.

         44 . A biocide composition comprising at least one polymeric, ionic compound comprising imidazolium groups (imidazolium compound), obtainable by reacting
 a) at least one α-dicarbonyl compound,   b) at least one aldehyde,   c) at least one amino compound having at least two primary amino groups,   d) optionally an amino compound having only one primary amino group and   e) at least one protic acid,   and optionally subjecting the reaction product to an anion exchange,   where in the components a) and b) the aldehyde carbonyl groups may also be present as hemiacetal or acetal and the ketone carbonyl groups may also be present as hemiketal or ketal;   where the main chain of the at least one compound comprising imidazolium groups does not contain 1,4-bound phenylene rings;   where the amino compound having at least two primary amino groups is not 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxy-propane or 1,3-diamino-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-propane; and   where the polymer comprises at least 8 imidazolium rings;   and at least one carrier and/or at least one auxiliary agent.
