Abstract
Abstract Organosilicon quaternary ammonias and other microbicidal compounds are bound to the surface of discrete inorganic particles such as glass spheres. Inorganic particles coated with the microbicidal compounds are used in hospital fluidized beds, air filters, and other products in which microbicidal qualities are desired.
