A two-part antimicrobial system comprising a first part and a second part to yield an aqueous antimicrobial composition, the first part comprising an amine composition selected from the group consisting of Glucoprotamin, N,N-Bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine, and mixtures thereof and the second part comprising an oxygen composition selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, peroctanoic acid, and mixtures thereof, wherein the resulting antimicrobial composition maintains efficacy for at least about 15 minutes after mixture.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the antimicrobial composition maintains efficacy for at least about 60 minutes.
3 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the amine composition is Glucoprotamin.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the amine and oxygen compounds are present in the resulting antimicrobial composition in a ratio from about 1:100 to about 100:1.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the first part, the second part, or both the first and second parts further comprise additional functional ingredients.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the additional functional ingredients are selected from the group consisting of wetting agents, builders, textual modifiers, film-forming polymers, surfactants, complexing agents, colorants, and mixtures thereof.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the amine composition is present in the first part in an amount that, when combined with the second part, it is present within the antimicrobial use composition at a concentration ranging from about 0.01 wt. % to about 5 wt. %.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the oxygen composition is present in the second part in an amount that, when combined with the first part, it is present within the antimicrobial use composition at a concentration ranging from about 0.005 wt. % to about 0.5 wt. %.
9 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the antimicrobial use composition has a pH in the range of about 2 to about 10.
10 . The system of claim 1 , wherein both the first part and the second part are independently in the form of an aqueous solution, solid, emulsion, cream, gel, powder, or tablet.
11 . An aqueous antimicrobial use composition comprising:
a) an antimicrobial amine composition; and
b) an antimicrobial oxygen composition;
wherein the use composition maintains efficacy for at least about 15 minutes.
12 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the use composition maintains efficacy for at least about 60 minutes.
13 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the amine composition is Glucoprotamin.
14 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the oxygen composition is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, peroctanoic acid, and mixtures thereof.
15 . The composition of claim 11 , further comprising additional functional ingredients.
16 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the additional functional ingredients are selected from the group consisting of wetting agents, builders, textual modifiers, film-forming polymers, surfactants, complexing agents, colorants, and mixtures thereof.
17 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the amine composition is present in an amount from about 0.01 wt. % to about 5 wt. %.
18 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the oxygen composition is present in an amount from about 0.005 wt. % to about 0.5 wt. %.
19 . The composition of claim 11 , wherein the composition has a pH in the range of about 3 to about 9.
20 . A method of disinfecting a surface comprising:
applying an aqueous antimicrobial use composition to a surface, the antimicrobial use composition comprising:
a) an antimicrobial amine or amine derivative composition selected from the group consisting of Glucoprotamin, N,N-Bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine, and mixtures thereof, and
b) an antimicrobial oxygen composition selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, peroctanoic acid, and mixtures thereof,
the use composition present in an amount effective to provide at least a 4 log reduction of Bacillus subtilis and maintain efficacy for at least about 15 minutes.
21 . A method of disinfecting a surface comprising:
applying an aqueous antimicrobial use composition to a surface, the antimicrobial use composition comprising:
a) an antimicrobial amine or amine derivative composition selected from the group consisting of Glucoprotamin, N,N-Bis(3-aminopropyl)dodecylamine, and mixtures thereof; and
b) an antimicrobial oxygen composition selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peracetic acid, peroctanoic acid, and mixtures thereof, the use composition present in an amount effective to provide at least a 4 log reduction of Polio virus and maintain efficacy for at least about 15 minutes.
