Enhanced activity hydrogen peroxide disinfectant

摘要

An aqueous disinfecting solution having a pH of from about 0.5 to about 6 consists essentially of hydrogen peroxide in a concentration of from about 0.05 to about 8 w/w % of the total solution, at least one anionic surfactant in a concentration of from about 0.02 to about 8 w/w % of the total solution, and at least one additional ingredient chosen from benzyl alcohol, an alcohol comprising one to six carbon atoms, and mixtures thereof, in a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 10 w/w % of the total solution.

主权项

1. An aqueous disinfecting solution having a pH of from about 1.5 to about 3.0 and consisting of:
i) hydrogen peroxide in a concentration of from about 0.05 to about 1.2 w/w %; ii) trace amounts of catalytically acting impurities which decompose the hydrogen peroxide; iii) a mixture of anionic surfactants in a concentration of from about 0.02 to about 2 w/w %, wherein the mixture consists of (1) at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of C8 to C16 alkyl aryl sulfonic acids and alkali metal, ammonium, ethanolamine, calcium and magnesium salts thereof, and (2) at least one anionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of C8 to C22 alkyl sulfonic acids and alkali metal, ammonium, calcium and magnesium salts thereof; iv) at least one acid selected from the group consisting of citric acid and acetic acid in a concentration of from about 0.05 to about 1.5 w/w %; v) at least one hydrogen peroxide stabilizer, which is present in a concentration effective to stabilize the hydrogen peroxide by deactivating said impurities; vi) at least one emulsifier in a concentration of from about 0.04 to 2.0 w/w %; and vii) water q.s. to 100 w/w %.
