CHLORHEXIDINE FORMULATIONS, NEW CHLORHEXIDINE SALTS, SOLUTIONS CONTAINING THESE AND THEIR USE

摘要

The invention provides powdered mixtures of chlorhexidine base with selected sugar acids or lactones from the set gluconic acid or gluconolactone, lactobionic acid (I), D-galactono-.gamma.-lactone (II), L-mannono-.gamma.-lactone (III), D-(-)-gulono-.gamma.-lactone (IV), D-(+)-galacturonic acid (V) and .alpha.-D-heptaglucono-.gamma.-lactone (VI). The formulations are characterised by extraordinary storage stability. Also provided are new chlorhexidine salts with sugar acid anions based on (I) to (VI) and aqueous solutions of these. The formulations, solutions and pure salts are used as disinfectants and to prepare disinfectants.
