A typical reaction is the following:

Another way of introducing the quaternary nitrogen into the polymer structure is by using monomers with functionality, either tertiary amine or reactive alkylating groups which are quaternizable. The following vinyl ammonium monomers can be copolymerized with vinyl pyrrolidone by solution polymerization in isopropyl alcohol or by precipitation polymerization in cyclohexane or heptane and under conditions to provide low molecular weight copolymers, i.e. about 10,000 to about 20,000, suitable for coprecipitation or admixture with the blend of bis-quaternary ammonium compounds.

A preferred copolymer is the copolymer of vinylpyrrolidone and MAPTAC, which is known as GAFQUAT® HS-100 resin (ISP) , and is supplied as a 20% aqueous solution.
The coprecipitate product comprising the blend composition and copolymer usually is prepared by reacting predetermined amounts of a dilute aqueous solution of the blend composition and copolymer, usually from 90:10 to 10:90 wt. ratio of each, respectfully, and removing the solvent. The desired coprecipitate is formed as a solid product.
These products exhibit an enhanced antimicrobial activity and reduced toxicity as compared to the individual compounds of the blend composition. Furthermore, they show excellent solubility in water, low toxicity and little irritation for the user. The antimicrobial compositions of the invention may be used as such; however, preferably they are admixed with inert materials as pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations, e.g. in the form of powders, solutions, lotions, suspensions and the like. Typical inert additives include water, alcohols, starch, and the like. Active ingredients also may be included in the product, if desired.
While the coprecipitate form of the antibacterial product of the invention is favored, admixtures of the blend and copolymer also may be used to prepare commercial compositions.
The antimicrobial activity of the products herein are represented by their Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC) against E.Coli, a Gram negative microorganism. Their effect on skin is indicated by an Irritation Index. These properties are presented in the Table below for the individual compounds in blend D and the invention composition of several D, H and L blend compositions coprecipitated in a 50:50 wt. ratio with with GAFQUAT® HS-100.

Dodecyldimethylamine 42.6 g. , 0.2 mole;
Tetradecyldimethylamine 48.4 g., 0.2 mole;
Potassium Iodide 5 g. ; and
Methanol 200 g. , was mixed well and heated to 90-l00°C. for 12 hours. Then the solvent was removed to give a heavy syrupy residue which was treated with acetone to precipitate out the . bis-quats blend composition in a yield of at least 95%. The composition comprised 25% by weight of A, 50% by weight of B and 25% by weight of C, above.
EXAMPLE 2

90 g. of a 1% by weight aqueous solution of GAFQUAT® HS-100 was mixed with 10 g. of the bis-quat blend of Example 1. Then water was removed under reduced pressure. A solid coprecipitate was formed which analyzed 10% by weight active bis-quat blend, and 50% by weight copolymer.
In other embodiments, the antimicrobial blend composition of bis-quaternary ammonium compounds is selected from those represented by the

the stated weight percents being + 20%; and, optionally, including polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a coprecipitate or in admixture therewith.
The blend composition with polyvinylpyrrolidone usually is prepared by reacting a dilute solution of the blend composition in alcohol or water, preferably methanol, with a dilute solution of the bisquat blend composition in the same solvent, and removing the solvent to form the desired coprecipitate solid product. More particularly, the blend coprecipitate compositions of the invention are prepared by refluxing the selected dichloro compound, the amines, and an alkali metal halide, in alcoholic solution, removing the solvent, precipitating the blend of bisquats in an organic solvent in substantially quantitative yield, and reacting a solution of the thus-prepared bisquat in methanol or water with a solution of soluble polyvinylpyrrolidone in the same solvent, and removing the solvent under reduced pressure to form the solid coprecipitate product.
These blend compositions with polyvinylpyrrolidone exhibit an enhanced antimicrobial activity and reduced toxicity as compared to the individual compounds therein. Furthermore, they show excellent solubility in water, and less irritation to the user, as compared to the blend composition itself, that is, without polyvinylpyrrolidone. The antimicrobial compositions of the invention may be used as such, or, preferably, admixed with an inactive or inert component to prepare pharmaceutical formulations such as powders, solutions, lotions, suspensions and the like. Typical additives include water, alcohols, starch, etc. Other active ingredients may be included if desired.
While the coprecipitate form is favored, mixtures of the blend composition and polyvinylpyrrolidone may be used as well.
