The invention relates to a disinfectant composition comprising: (A) a peracetic acid-generating component comprising acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and an organic phosphonic acid; and (B) a stabilizer component comprising an alkaline agent and a chelating agent, wherein the chelating agent is selected from the group consisting of N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)L-glutamic acid, methylglycine diacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and alkali metal salts thereof, and a mixture of two or more thereof and to the aqueous disinfectant solution obtainable by mixing and diluting components (A) and (B) in water. The invention further relates to a method of disinfecting surface and instruments, particularly flexible endoscopes, using said aqueous disinfectant solution.

Two components disinfecting composition containing peracetic acid and chelating agent

The invention relates to a two component disinfectant composition comprising: (A) a peracetic acid-generating component comprising acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide and an organic phosphonic acid; and (B) a stabilizer component comprising an alkaline agent and a chelating agent, wherein the chelating agent is selected from the group consisting of N,N-bis(carboxymethyl)-L-glutamic acid, methylglycine diacetic acid, nitrilotriacetic acid, and alkali metal salts thereof, and a mixture of two or more thereof and to the aqueous disinfectant solution obtainable by mixing and diluting components (A) and (B) in water. The invention further relates to a method of disinfecting surface and instruments, particularly flexible endoscopes, using said aqueous disinfectant solution.

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 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 liquid composition is based on surfactants and enzymes, and is particularly useful for manual cleaning of instruments. In manual and ultrasonic application the composition in use concentration shows low foaming and gives a cleaning solution which is not cloudy at least at a temperature in the range from 16&#xb0; C. to 40&#xb0; C. In addition, the composition has good cleaning efficacy over a broad temperature range (20 to 55&#xb0; C.) and shows good material compatibility.
