The present invention relates to a liquid composition comprising: a) at least one alcohol; b) at least one hydrocarbon or hydrocarbon mixture; c) at least one peroxide agent; d) water. The compositions of the invention possess antimicrobial and enhanced sporicidal properties.

Enhancement of the sporicidal efficacy of alcohol and peroxide compositions

The invention relates to a virucidal composition comprising based on the composition from 80 to 99 wt-% of a C-Cmonoalcohol or a mixture thereof, from 0.1 to lower 2 wt-% of an organic acid, from 0.1 to 1 wt-% of an alkoxylated monoglyceride and/or alkoxylated diglyceride, wherein the pH value of the composition is from pH 3.3 to 5 and the remainder up to 100 wt-% is water. The invention further describes a method of inactivating viruses, and a product comprising the virucidal composition and means for applying it.

Virucidal composition

The present invention describes a composition in form of a gel for the virucidal disinfection of mammalian skin comprising 71 to 95 weight percent of a C1 to C3 monoalcohol, 0.01 to 1 weight percent thickener and wherein the composition has a viscosity range of from 3000 to 19000 mPas measured at 20&#xb0; C. with spindle LV3 at a speed of 2.5 rpm. Furthermore, the invention describes a method for virucidal disinfection of skin.

Composition in form of a gel for the virucidal disinfection of mammalian skin

The invention pertains to a method of inactivating prions located on surfaces. In an embodiment, the invention pertains to a method of inactivating prions located on surfaces using a composition including a peracid. In an embodiment, the invention pertains to a method of inactivating prions located on surfaces using a composition including a peracid and a surfactant. The composition may comprise additional functional ingredients.

Method of inactivating prions

A system and method for tracking and managing maintenance of serviceable items based on unique identification labeling affixed to the items is disclosed. The serviceable items are described as filters within a common environment that require routine maintenance to adhere to certain expectations relative to the operability of the items. Such operability may relate to any type of filtering of contaminants from a liquid or gaseous substance that flows through the filters. A unique identifier (ID) label is affixed to each filter. The unique ID label represents a unique filter ID that uniquely identifies the filter relative to all other filters in the common environment. A handheld computing device communicatively connected to a local computer reads the unique ID label of each filter following maintenance of the filter to track maintenance of the filters over time.

Managing maintenance of serviceable items based on unique identification labeling

The invention relates to a method for improving the performance of filtration devices by adding P- and/or N-containing compounds to the medium to be filtered.

Method for preventing the formation of biological films

The invention relates to the use of tenside agents containing selected non-ionic tensides, for use in cleaning and/or disinfecting processes and/or cleaning and/or disinfecting preparations.

Microbicidally active tensides

The invention relates to methods and agents for washing textiles while disinfecting them and treating the same with care, whereby a combination consisting of peracid and particular additional constituents is used as the disinfection constituent.
