Abstract

Disclosed are a two-agent type disinfectant composition for hard articles, which includes a first agent containing a powder mixture (A) and a second agent containing an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (B-1), the powder mixture (A) containing an alkali metal salt (A-1) exhibiting basicity when the salt is in the form of an aqueous solution, a water-soluble copper salt (A-2), a compound (A-3) represented by the following formula (1), and a nonionic surfactant (A-4) represented by the following formula (2), and in which the molar ratio of the water-soluble copper salt (A-2) and the compound (A-3) represented by the mixing amount of (A-3)/mixing amount of (A-2) is 3.0 to 20; and a single-agent type disinfectant composition for hard articles, which includes the components (A-1) to (A-4), and an inorganic peroxide (B-2) that releases hydrogen peroxide in water, and in which the molar ratio of the water-soluble copper salt (A-2) and the compound (A-3) represented by the mixing amount of (A-3)/mixing amount of (A-2) is 3.0 to 20. Disinfectant compositions for hard articles which have high disinfecting power against the surfaces of hard articles, have satisfactory stability of hydrogen peroxide in water, and have low foaming tendency, and a method for disinfecting the surface of a hard article by using the disinfectant composition for hard articles, can be provided.

Claims (26)

1. A disinfectant composition for hard articles used for disinfection of the surfaces of hard articles comprising:

a two-agent type disinfectant composition including a first agent containing a powder mixture (A) and a second agent containing an aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (B-1) wherein (B-1) comprises hydrogen peroxide in a concentration of 30-65 mass %,

wherein the powder mixture (A) contains 80-98 mass % of an alkali metal salt (A-1) exhibiting basicity when the salt is in a form of an aqueous solution, 0.1-0.5 mass % of a water-soluble copper salt (A-2), 0.5-5 mass % of a compound (A-3) represented by the following formula (1), and 0.05-1.6 mass % of a nonionic surfactant (A-4) represented by the following formula (2),

wherein a molar ratio of the water-soluble copper salt (A-2) and the compound (A-3) represented by a mixing amount of (A-3)/mixing amount of (A-2) is 3.0 to 20:

wherein Y 1 and Y 2 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, —CH 2 —COOX 3 , —CH(OH)—COOX 4 , —CH 2 CH 2 —COOX 5 , —CH 2 CH 2 —OH or CH 2 —OH; Z represents a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group having 8 to 16 carbon atoms, —CH 2 —COOX 6 or CH 2 CH 2 —OH; X 1 to X 6 each independently represent a hydrogen atom, an alkali metal atom, an alkaline earth metal atom, or a cationic ammonium group;

[Chemical Formula 2]

3. A method for disinfecting the surface of a hard article by using the disinfectant composition for hard articles according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

diluting a first agent containing the powder mixture (A) and thereby obtaining a dilution;

mixing the dilution with a second agent containing the aqueous hydrogen peroxide solution (B-1), and thereby obtaining a liquid mixture; and

bringing a surface of a hard article into contact with the liquid mixture.

4. A method for disinfecting a surface of a hard article by using the disinfectant composition for hard articles according to claim 2 , the method comprising:

diluting the disinfectant composition for hard articles with water, and thereby obtaining a dilution; and

bringing a surface of a hard article into contact with the dilution.

5. The method according to claim 3 , wherein the hard article is a food packaging container.

6. The method according to claim 4 , wherein the hard article is a food packaging container.
