| abstract |
This invention relates to polymers of quaternary thiazines having the recurrent structure ##STR1## WHERE Z is S, SO, SO 2 , x is 2 or more, R 1 is a hydrocarbon or substituted hydrocarbon, R 2 is alkylene, alkenylene, aralkylene, alkylene ether, X is an anion, n is a number from 3-500. These polymers are useful as flocculants and/or water clarifiers, corrosion inhibitors, antistatic agents, demulsifiers, microbiocides, algicides and the like. |
