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, 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.
