Antimicrobial and foamable alcoholic compositions
View Patent ↗Antimicrobial and foamable alcoholic compositions, where the compositions include at least about 40 wt. % of a C 1-4 alcohol and one or more silane surfactants selected from (1) zwitterionic silane surfactants, (2) polyalkoxylated silane surfactants that contain at least one silane group and at least one polyalkylene oxide chain.
1. An alcoholic composition comprising:
at least 50 wt. % of a C 1-4 alcohol or a mixture of two or more C 1-9 alcohols, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition;
a polyalkoxylated silane surfactant consisting of bis-PEG-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane; and
glycerin.
2. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the alcohol comprises methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, tertiary butanol, or mixtures thereof.
3. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the alcoholic composition comprises from 0.01 to 10 wt. % of the polyalkoxylated silane surfactant.
4. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the alcoholic composition comprises from 0.05 to 4 wt. % of the polyalkoxylated silane surfactant.
5. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the alcoholic composition comprises at least 65 wt. % of the C 1-4 alcohol or mixture of two or more C 1-9 alcohols.
6. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition further comprises one or more C 6-10 alkane diols.
7. The alcoholic composition of claim 6 , wherein the C 6-10 alkane diol is 1,2-octane diol.
8. The alcoholic composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is a foamable composition.
9. A foamable alcoholic composition comprising:
at least 60 wt. % of a C 1-4 alcohol or a mixture of two or more C 1-9 alcohols, based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition;
a polyalkoxylated silane surfactant consisting of bis-PEG-18 methyl ether dimethyl silane; and
glycerin.
