Abstract
Disinfectant/sanitizer solutions contain aldehyde, surfactant, a quaternary ammonium compound, a main solvent and a co-solvent. Clear disinfectant/sanitizer solutions are made by adding the components of the solutions in a certain order and mixing them together. Concentrated disinfectant/sanitizer solutions can be diluted prior to being applied to a hard surface. Disinfectant/Sanitizer solutions are in the form of a liquid or spray. Liquid disinfectant/sanitizer solutions may be applied to a hard surface using a wipe impregnated or wetted with the solutions.
Claims5
A concentrated micellar disinfectant/sanitizer solution consisting of, by weight percentage of the concentrated disinfectant/sanitizer solution:
- (a) from about 1% to about 50%, by weight, of a quaternary ammonium compound having the following general formula (I):
- R1R2R3R4N+X−
- wherein, R1, R2, R3 and R4 represent independently of each other, alkyl groups, aliphatic groups, aromatic groups, alkoxy groups, polyoxyalkylene groups, alkylamido groups, hydroxyalkyl groups, aryl groups, and H+ ions, each with from 1 to 22 carbon atoms, with the proviso that at least one of the groups R1, R2, R3 and R4 has at least eight carbon atoms and wherein X− represents an anion;
- (b) from about 0.1% to about 20%, by weight, of cinnamaldehyde;
- (c) from about 0.1% to about 30%, by weight, of a surfactant selected from:
- nonionic surfactant, cationic surfactant and combinations thereof;
- (d) from about 50% to about 75%, by weight, of a main solvent, wherein the main solvent is water;
- (e) from about 0.5% to about 40%, by weight, of a co-Solvent selected from:
- ethers, alcohols, glycols, glycol ethers, glycol ether acetates, glycol diethers, polyols, hydrogels, and combinations thereof;
- and
- optionally,
- (f) one or more stability enhancers selected rom:
- radical scavenger, pH adjuster and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the concentrated disinfectant/sanitizer solution is clear.
