Abstract
The invention relates to ecologically-acceptable agent for treating pathogenic germs on surfaces, instruments and in fluids, comprising synergistic mixtures of aromatic hydroxybenzoic acids and phenols with a broad spectrum of action. The above is active against hydrophilically-sheathed and -unsheathed viruses as well as lipophilic bacteria and yeasts and is thus applicable in medicine, industry and commercial animal raising.
Claims22
A method for the control and inactivation of pathogenic germs on surfaces and instruments of medical and technical establishments comprising the step of using an effective microbicidal and antiviral combination of at least one acid selected from the group consisting of aromatic monohydroxycarboxylic acids, dihydroxybenzoic acids, and trihydroxybenzoic acids individually or mixed, and phenols in combination with a surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfonates, alkyl aryl sulfonic acid, alkyl aryl sulfonates, alkyl aryl ether sulfates with 1 to 3 EO groups, alkyl ether sulfates with 1 to 3 EP groups, their sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts with primary or branched chains having a length of C8 to C18 as anionic surfactant and alkyl polyethyleneglycol ethers with 3 to 11 EO groups as nonionic surfactant, individually or mixed.
A method of preparing a product for use as a disinfectant for the control and inactivation of pathogenic germs comprising the steps of producing an effective mixture of mono, di, and trihydroxybenzoic acids and phenols and anionic and nonionic surfactants as wetting agents by mixing an effective microbicidal and antiviral combinations of at least one acid selected from the group consisting of aromatic monohydroxycarboxylic acids, dihydroxybenzoic acids, and trihydroxybenzoic acids, and phenols in combination with a surfactant selected from the group consisting of alkyl sulfonates, alkyl aryl sulfonic acid, alkyl aryl sulfonates, alkyl aryl ether sulfates with 1 to 3 EO groups, alkyl ether sulfates with 1 to 3 EP groups, their sodium, potassium, and ammonium salts with primary or branched chains having a length of C8 to C18 as anionic surfactant and alkyl polyethyleneglycol ethers with 3 to 11 EO groups as nonionic surfactant.
