The present invention relates to a method to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submergible surface. The method contacts the submergible surface with an effective amount of at least one thiourea to inhibit bacterial adhesion to the submergible surface. The present invention also relates to a method for controlling biofouling of an aqueous system. This method adds an effective amount of at least one thiourea to inhibit bacteria from adhering to a submerged surface within the aqueous system. This method effectively controls biofouling without substantially killing the bacteria. The thiourea used in the method of the invention is a compound of formula (I). The present invention also relates to compositions containing thiourea compounds and useable in the above methods. The compositions comprise at least one thiourea in an amount effective to inhibit bacteria from adhering to submergible or submerged surfaces.

L'invention porte sur un procédé empêchant une bactérie d'adhérer à une surface submersible. Le procédé consiste à revêtir la surface submersible d'une quantité suffisante d'au moins une thio-urée pour empêcher la bactérie d'adhérer à la surface submersible. L'invention concerne également un procédé antisalissure d'un système aqueux. Ce procédé vise à ajouter une quantité suffisante d'au moins une thio-urée pour empêcher une bactérie d'adhérer à une surface subsmersible dans le système aqueux. Ce procédé agit efficacement contre les salissures sans nécessairement tuer la bactérie. Le composé thio-urée utilisé par le procédé est représenté par la formule (I). L'invention traite en outre des compositions contenant des composés thio-urée, utilisables dans les procédés mentionnés ci-dessus. Ces compositions contiennent au moins une thio-urée en quantité suffisante pour empêcher une bactérie d'adhérer à des surfaces submersibles ou submergées.
