Abstract

Hydroalcoholic disinfecting compositions that achieve an enhanced efficacy against harmful microorganisms, including pathogenic microorganisms, are provided. The hydroalcoholic disinfecting compositions contain from 30 to 60 wt. % of one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols together with a polymeric enhancer. The hydroalcoholic disinfecting compositions have a pH of less than 3.

Claims (26)

1 . A disinfecting composition comprising:

from 30 to 60 wt. % of one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols;

one or more polymeric enhancers; and

one or more secondary enhancers,

wherein the disinfecting composition has a pH of less than 3.

2 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 40 to 60 wt. % of the one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols.

3 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 50 to 60 wt. % of the one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols.

4 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols comprise one or more C 1 -C 6 alcohols.

5 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more C 1 -C 10 alcohols comprise isopropanol, ethanol, or mixtures thereof.

6 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 0.1 to 3 wt. % of the one or more polymeric enhancers.

7 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 0.2 to 1 wt. % of the one or more polymeric enhancers.

9 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 0.01 to 10 wt. % of the one or more secondary enhancers.

10 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition comprises from 0.1 to 5 wt. % of the one or more secondary enhancers.

11 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the one or more secondary enhancers comprise hexylene glycol, caprylyl glycol, or combinations thereof.

12 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition further comprises one or more nonionic surfactants.

13 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition further comprises one or more pH adjusting agents.

14 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition further comprises water.

15 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition has a pH of 2.75 or less.

16 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition has a pH of 2.5 or less.

17 . The disinfecting composition of claim 1 , wherein the disinfecting composition has a pH of 2 or less.

18 . A method for the disinfection of a surface, the method comprising:

contacting the surface with the disinfecting composition of claim 1 .

19 . A method for the inactivation of bacterial or fungal spores, the method comprising:

contacting the spores with the disinfecting composition of claim 1 .

20 . A wipe substrate comprising the disinfecting composition of claim 1 .
