From a product-type viewpoint, flexible polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and poly(urethane)-foam-based applications have used biocides for decades.[8,9] PVC is especially vulnerable to attack from fungi and bacteria due to extensive plasticizer usage in flexible applications.[ 10] Poly(urethane) foams are another notable consumer of biocides because of their porous nature, which pro- vides an ideal environment for microbes to grow.[11,12] Therefore, it is not surprising that many applications based on these two materials have significant usage of biocides; commonly, oxybisphenoxarsine or lower toxic- ity alternatives such as zinc pyrithione (ZPT) antimicro- bials are employed.[10] Specific example applications include kitchen and bath accessories, swimming pool liners, carpet backing, sleep solutions like mattresses and pillows, roofing membranes, and tiles.
