摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates primarily to a product for use in the disinfection of hard surfaces, instruments and human or animal skin. The product comprises a lofted non-woven substrate having entrapped within its structure solid particles of a chlorine release agent which, when dampened with a suitable liquid, become active. Preferably, the chlorine release agent comprises sodium dichloroisocyanurate, which becomes active when dampened with water. An indicator, such as a dye, which is acted on by the activated particles is also preferably incorporated in the substrate to give an indication of the status of the product with regard to the exhaustion of the particles therefrom. Apart from use as a wipe, the product can also be used as a sheet inclusion in processes such as a washing process for the quantitative release of the chlorine for the purpose of disinfection or bleaching.</p> |
