Kit for producing foams containing bispyridinium alkane
A kit for the production of an antimicrobial foam includes: a) a liquid composition which includes a1)one or more bispyridinium alkane and a2)one or more surfactants selected from non-ionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants and cation-active surfactants, wherein the composition is formulated so that a foam can be produced therefrom, and b) a device for producing the foam from the composition. By using the bispyridinium alkanes the foam stability of liquid and surfactant-containing compositions is increased.
1. Kit for the production of an antimicrobial foam consisting of:
(a) a liquid composition consisting of:
(a1) 0.04 to 0.2 wt % octenidine dihydrochloride,
(a2) 0.02 to 2 wt % cocamidopropyl betaine, and
(a3) water as a solvent,
wherein the composition is formulated so that a foam can be produced therefrom; and
(b) a foam dispenser for foaming the composition with air.
2. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the octenidine dihydrochloride is present in an amount of 0.05 to 0.15 wt. %.
3. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the cocamidopropyl betaine is present in an amount of 0.03 to 0.5 wt. %.
4. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the octenidine dihydrochloride is present in an amount of about 0.08 wt %.
5. The kit according to claim 1 , wherein the cocamidopropyl betaine is present in an amount of about 0.04 wt %.
