Virucidal composition

Abstract

A water-based virucidal composition suitable for disinfecting a surface contaminated with non-enveloped virus is set forth, wherein the composition comprises alkylpolyglycoside surfactant in an amount of 0.1-5 wt. %, amineoxide surfactant in an amount of 0.1-5 wt. %, wherein the amineoxide is a compound of the formula R1R2R3N+O−, wherein R1 contains 8 to 18 carbon atoms and R2 and R3 each contain 1-4 carbon atoms, alkylethercarboxylic acid surfactant in an amount of 0.1-5 wt. % alkylethercarboxylic acid surfactant wherein the alkylethercarboxylic acid surfactant is an alkylethercarboxylic acid of the formula R—O—(CH(Y)—CH2—O)n—CH2—COOH, wherein R is an alkyl or alkylene group containing 6-16 carbon atoms, and each Y is independently selected from H or CH3, n is 3-10, or a salt thereof, hydrogen peroxide in an amount of 0.1-7 wt. %, chelating agent in an amount of 0.01-2.0 wt. %, less than 15 wt. % of C1-C6 alcohol, less than 0.10 wt. % of quaternary ammonium surfactants, and less than 0.1 wt. % amide surfactants, and the composition having a pH in the range of 1.0-3.0.
