Abstract
Abstract Solid compositions containing low water solubility 3-isothiazolone compounds and carbon-based adsorbents that do not rapidly release the 3-isothiazolone when added to a locus to be protected are disclosed. In particular, methods of controlling or inhibiting the growth of marine organisms using the controlled release solid compositions in paints and coatings for marine structures is disclosed.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
67 words
A non-aqueous liquid composition comprising a 3-isothiazolone compound having low water solubility; a high surface area activated carbon; and an organic solvent carrier, wherein the composition provides controlled release of the 3-isothiazolone compound, wherein the weight ratio of 3-isothiazolone compound to activated carbon is from 0.1:99.9 to 95:5, and wherein the activated carbon is a particulate material having an average particle size of 30 to 150 microns.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
67 words
A non-aqueous liquid composition comprising a 3-isothiazolone compound having low water solubility; a high surface area activated carbon; and an organic solvent carrier, wherein the composition provides controlled release of the 3-isothiazolone compound, wherein the weight ratio of 3-isothiazolone compound to activated carbon is from 0.1:99.9 to 95:5, and wherein the activated carbon is a particulate material having an average particle size of 30 to 150 microns.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
