<p>The effectiveness of hydrogen peroxide for bleaching and disinfecting at ambient to hand hot temperatures can be enhanced by reaction with a peracid generator (activator).</p><p>The present invention provides emulsions of enol ester activators in aqueous acidic solutions of hydrogen peroxide containing a water soluble emulsifier in at least 1 part per part by weight of activator.</p><p>Preferably sufficient emulsifier mixture thereof is present to enable the resultant emulsion to be clear demonstrating the presence of thermodynamically stable micellar structures.</p><p>In preferred compositions, the activator is selected from vinyl or isopropenyl or but-1-enyl or cyclohex-1-enyl acetate heptanoate, octanoate or benzoate and divinyl adipate or phthalate, and 1,5-diacetoxypenta-1,4-diene.</p><p>The compositions can be used as such or upon dilution with aqueous media and in conjunction with detergent compositions, and for cleaning and desinfecting absorbent or non-absorbent materials.</p> |
