A decontaminating composition and delivery system therefor. The decontaminating composition is prepared by combining a "per-salt", an activator for hydrogen peroxide which effects free radical formation, both of which are in a dry form and an aqueous solution comprised of a nonvolatile alcohol and a surface active agent. The "per-salt" of the present invention is a basic water-soluble salt such as percarbonate, perborate, persilicate or perphosphate which releases hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution. While not true per-salts in the strict chemical sense, they are otherwise conventional salts containing hydrogen peroxide of crystallization which is released in aqueous solution. The decontaminating composition and delivery system comprise a dispenser containing, in separate compartments, the various components as aforesaid which are thoroughly mixed prior to being dispensed onto the surface to be treated.
A decontaminating system comprising a hand-held portable container intended for ultimately dispensing a decontaminating composition, comprising, in combination, a bottle having a first compartment therein for storing dry components, the dry components including a water-soluble basic salt having hydrogen peroxide of crystallization, the dry components further including an activator for the hydrogen peroxide, the bottle further having a second compartment therein for storing liquid components, the liquid components including an aqueous solution of a non-volatile alcohol and further including a positively-charged phase transfer agent, means within the bottle for separating the first and second compartments, manually actuated means for combining the separated components, as desired, for mixing the dry and liquid components, thereby producing the decontaminating composition, and dispensing means carried by the bottle for dispensing the decontaminating composition.
