BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Biocides are chemical compositions that are widely used in industry for disinfection and to prevent microbiological contamination and deterioration of commercial products, materials and systems. Of the biocides presently available, phenolic biocides are widely used.
In general, phenolic biocides are colourless and have minimal toxicological effects to humans i.e. cause little or no irritation to the skin. Although most phenolics have a characteristic odour, some of them such as phenylphenols and dichlorophenes
-2-have little odour and others such as triclosan have none. These properties are desirable as they enable such biocides to be used as an ingredient in orally , administered pharmaceutical preparations; as an approved biocide for use in food establishments and plants; and in packaging material.
Phenolic biocides also have other desirable properties including a wide biocidal spectrum against microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi; residual bacteriostatic properties; and unlike other biocides are not readily deactivated by organic matter such as blood, serum and milk. These biocides therefore have a wide application as disinfectants and antimould products in general household, industrial, and other areas requiring disinfection, as they can be used in the destruction of the microorganisms present or the prevention of their further proliferation to numbers that would be significantly destructive to the substrate or system being protected.
An example of a phenolic biocide is dichlorophene which, in addition to its antibacterial properties, is particularly effective against fungi such as yeast mould and mildew. This property enables such derivatives to be used mainly as a preservative against mildew and rot in a variety of products including paper and textiles.
Another example of a phenolic biocide used is trichloro hydroxy diphenyl ether (Triclosan) which is an effective ingredient in deodorant and in skin cleansing preparations.
Hitherto, phenols have been used in industrial cleaners in an aqueous solution at very high pH (above pH 11). The use of cleaners with such high pH is undesirable in households. In order to overcome this problem, phenols have been used in

Hitherto, phenols have been used in industrial cleaners in an aqueous solution at very high pH (above pH 11). The use of cleaners with such high pH is undesirable in households. In order to overcome this problem, phenols have been used in
-3-alcoholic solution but such use leaves visable surface residues and is disadvantageous for household use.
To obtain aqueous detergent solutions of phenolic biocides they have first to be converted into their water soluble alkali salts, usually with sodium hydroxide, resulting in alkaline solution of a pH of at least 11Ø The high alkalinity of these solutions excludes them from application in households and on surfaces susceptible to deterioration by alkalis. Their use has therefore been restricted to industrial cleaners for stainless steel equipment and hard floor surfaces in food processing and glass bottle washing plants and other industrial plants and areas where the higher alkalinity is acceptable.
When dissolved in alcoholic-aqueous mixture with the addition of a small amount of a suitable surfactant to form a disinfectant cleaning preparation, such solution will on drying leave streaks and partly greyish areas on treated surfaces due to the remaining insoluble residues of the biocide.
Triclosan which finds its main application in antiseptic skin and hand cleansing preparations has been either used in suspension, or solubilised with non-ionic surfactants with resultant loss in activity.
In mildew and rot proofing of paper and textiles phenylphenol and especially dichlorophene are widely used as their sodium salt solution for the impregnation of these materials against fungal infection and prevention of mould formulations.
The high alkalinity of these solutions causes weakening of the strength of fibres and loss of the biocides either by leaching out in moist climates or by lack of binding to the surfaces treated. This has been prevented in the past by neutralisation

-4-of the alkali salt and/or bonding the biocides by means of a metal salt such as zirconium acetate. These processes necessitate a further manufacturing procedure, use of additional equipment and additional cost for the neutralising agent. These additional measures are required as bonding the biocidal agent onto the material to be protected was not always effective, especially when prolonged periods of protection were required.
OBJECT OF THE INV NTION
It is therefore an object of the invention to ameliorate at least some of the above disadvantages.
Preferred embodiments of the invention overcome the above disadvantages by providing a liquid biocidal preparation for the disinfection of solid surfaces and impregnation of paper, textiles and non-woven fabrics which at the same time protects them against reinfection by microorganisms.
DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION
According to a first aspect the present invention consists in a biocidal preparation comprising a halogenated phenolic biocide and less than 8 wt% of a polyvinylpyrrolidone polymer or copolymer dissolved in an aqueous alcoholic solvent, the combination drying on evaporation of the solvent to form a clear film.
For preference the biocide is selected from the group consisting of triclosan, dichlorophene, chlorophene, p-chloro-m-xylenol (PCMX), hexachlorophene, o-phenylphenol, pentachlorophenol (PCP) and bromophene.
Preparations according to the invention surprisingly provide a substantially aqueous solution of a biocide preparation which in the pH range of 2-10.0 on drying

-7-value) of 15, 30, 60 and 90 (most preferably a polyvinylpyrrolidone with a degree of polymerisation of 90) or copolymers with vinylacetate comprising from 20 to 80%
polyvinylpyrrolidone, (most preferably comprising at least 50% vinylacetate and possessing cationic character) are used. Another suitable polymer for disinfecting/cleaning is QAFQUAT-HSTM made by ISP Corporation, USA.
For impregnation, the amount of polymer used is preferably in the range of from 0.01 parts of the polymer to 99.9 parts of polymer for each 1 part of phenolic biocide.
More preferably the polymer is in the range of from 0.01 to 50 parts and most preferably from 0.01 to 1 part for each part of phenolic biocide. For disinfecting/cleaning, the amount of polymer used is preferably less than 8 wt%, inost preferably less than 2 wt%
based on the weight of the composition.

8 PCT/AU96/00224 2.0% by weight of the composition. The biocidal preparation can be used for disinfecting medical instruments such as endoscopes.
The concentration of the biocides used for the impregnation of paper and textiles is often dependent on the method of preparation. Preferably. the amount of uptake is between 0.05 to 1.0% based on the weight of the material. More preferably the range is between 0.1 to 0.5% by weight of the material.
Where a surface disinfectant cleaner is required a certain amount of a detergent should be included in the preparation. The detergent is preferably selected from the range of anionic surfactants, although other surfactants can also be used on their own or in combination with an anionic surfactant. It is also advantageous to include a small amount of a surfactant in an impregnation solution to ensure uniform wetting of the treated material.
Suitable anionic surfactants include sodium salts of dodecylbenzenesulphonate and laurylether sulphate; phosphate esters of nonylphenolethoxylates;
nonylphenoxyphosphoric acid esters or a combination of these surfactants. A
preferred surfactant is the sodium salt of dodecylbenzenesulphonate which can be used on its own or in combination with another anionic surfactant.
An effective amount of surfactant will depend on the intended application of the final product. That is, a disinfectant surface cleaner product will have a relatively high proportion of surfactant to ensure it has good cleaning properties. On the other hand for impregnation of paper and textile materials the content of the surfactant will be much lower as their purpose is only in wetting the surfaces of the paper and textile fibres and assuring better penetration.

-9-Suitable alcohols include any water soluble lower alkyl alcohols such as methanol and ethanol but higher alkyl alcohols such as iso- and n-Propanol may be used on their own or in combination with lower alcohols preferably in an amount not exceeding 30% weight by volume in disinfectant cleaner and impregnation liquid.
