摘要 |
<p>A synergy is exhibited between surfactants selected from the group comprising amphoteric surfactants and alkoxylated alcohol surfactants and a certain class of aromatic organic acids. Alkoxylated alcohol surfactants are otherwise poorly biocidal at reasonable formulation pH's. Accordingly the invention relates to a disinfecting composition including: an ortho-hydroxy benzoic acid derivative (preferably salicylic acid), and an amphoteric surfactant and/or an alkoxylated alcohol nonionic surfactant (preferably an ethoxylated alcohol), said composition having a pH of 1-5.5.</p> |
