PRODUCING PERACETIC ION-BASED BIOCIDAL DISINFECTING COMPOSITIONS

摘要

A solid biocidal composition containing a peracetic ion-generating system mixed with a stabilising organic acid selected so that, when the composition is placed in an aqueous solution in suitable concentrations, the release of the peracetic ions into the aqueous solution can be controlled over time. The relative proportions of the components of the generating system and the stabilising organic acid are respectively adjusted in such a way that the concentration of the resulting peracetic acid is above a concentration threshold at which biocidal activity can be induced for a pre-selected time. The composition is particularly useful for producing sanitary or disinfectant solutions.
