USE OF FATTY ACID ESTER FOR IMPROVING THE ANTIMICROBIAL EFFICACY OF AN ALCOHOLIC DISINFECTANT

摘要

The invention relates to alcoholic disinfectants that comprise a) at least 78 wt% ethanol, relative to the weight of the disinfectant, and b) one or more fatty acid esters of monovalent C1 to C6 alkyl alcohol. The disinfectants contain less than 5.0 wt% perfume. Furthermore, the disinfectants contain less than 0.1 wt% glycerin and are therefore especially effective for use for surgical and hygienic disinfection of the hands.
