Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include a Calcohol, a primary enhancer, and an acidifying agent. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of less than 3. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.

Compositions and methods with efficacy against spores and other organisms

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include a Calcohol, and a primary enhancer selected from biguanides. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of no more than about 2.5. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.

Compositions and methods for the disinfection of surfaces are provided. The compositions include at least about 40 weight percent of a Calcohol, and a primary enhancer selected from protein denaturants. The disinfectant composition is characterized by a pH of less than about 3. Broad spectrum efficacy is achieved, and synergistic activity is exhibited againstspores.

A dispensable hydroalcoholic gel composition is provided. The dispensable hydroalcoholic gel includes a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, and a glyceryl ester.

Methods and compositions for use with gel dispensers

A dispensable gel composition is provided. The dispensable gel composition includes a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, and a diol plug-preventing additive. The dispensable gel exhibits less misdirection during dispensing from a dispensing device than gel compositions that are otherwise identical, but for the presence of the plug-preventing additive.

A dispensable gel composition is provided. The dispensable gel composition includes a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, and a plug-preventing additive. The dispensable gel exhibits less misdirection during dispensing from a dispensing device than gel compositions that are otherwise identical, but for the presence of the plug-preventing additive.

This invention provides a pre-surgical disinfecting composition that includes at least about 50 percent by weight of a Calcohol, based upon the total weight of the disinfecting composition, an acid, and a cationic oligomer or polymer. A method for pre-surgical skin disinfection with rapid antiseptic efficacy without the use of secondary antimicrobial compounds is also described.

Composition and method for pre-surgical skin disinfection

A dispensable gel composition is provided. The dispensable gel composition includes a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, a diol plug-preventing additive, and one or more neutralizers. The one or more neutralizers are selected from sodium hydroxide, ammonium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, arginine, tetrahydroxypropyl ethylenediamine, triethanolamine, tromethamine, and triisopropanolamine.

A dispensable hydroalcoholic gel composition is provided. The dispensable hydroalcoholic gel includes a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, one or more neutralizers, and an additive. The dispensable hydroalcoholic gel exhibits less misdirection during dispensing from a dispensing device than gel compositions that are otherwise identical, but for the presence of the additive.

A method for rapid surface sanitization is provided, where the method includes contacting the surface with an effective amount of an antimicrobial composition comprising at least about 50 wt. % of a Calcohol, based upon the total weight of the antimicrobial composition; and an efficacy-enhancing amount of a Calkane diol.

Antimicrobial compositions

A method is provided for reducing the frequency of mis-directed output of hydroalcoholic gel from a dispenser. The hydroalcoholic gel includes at least 30 wt. % of a Calcohol, a polyacrylate thickener, and a plug-preventing additive that may be a Calkane diol. A method of reducing the formation of coagulated gel deposits, and dispensable hydroalcoholic gel compositions are also provided.

This invention provides a method of inactivating human noroviruses and other acid stable viruses. The method includes the step of contacting the virus with a virucidally-enhanced alcoholic composition that includes an alcohol, and an enhancer selected from cationic oligomers and polymers, chaotropic agents, and mixtures thereof.
