Claim 2
Independent Claim 219 words
A method of stabilizing a solution containing a 3-isothiazolone complex of the formula ##STR3## wherein Y is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group of 1 to 18 carbon atoms, an alkenyl or alkynyl group of 2 to 18 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group of 3 to 12 carbon atoms, having a 3 to 8 carbon atom ring, an aralkyl group of up to 10 carbon atoms, or an aryl group of up to 10 carbon atoms; R is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl group; R' is a hydrogen atom, a halogen atom, or a (C 1 -C 4 )alkyl group; M is a cation of barium, cadmium, calcium, chromium, cobalt, copper, iron, lead, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel, silver, strontium, tin or zinc; X is a chloride, bromide iodide, sulfate, nitrate, nitrite, acetate, chlorate, perchlorate, bisulfate, bicarbonate, oxalate, maleate, p-toluenesulfonate, carbonate, or phosphate anion; a is the integer 1 or 2; and n is an integer which for the anion X satisfies the valence of the cation M; against decomposition of the complex, which comprises adding to the solution a stabilizing amount of a metal salt selected from the group consisting of nitrates and nitrites of sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, nickel, zinc, barium, manganese, silver, and cobalt, and mixtures thereof.
