  • Publication number: 20090314444
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a tissue paper comprising a lotion composition, said lotion being a liquid water-in-oil emulsion comprising (A) a hydrocarbon-based oil, (B) optionally at least one further oil, (C) 3 to 40 weight % of at least one non-ionic water-in-oil emulsifier, (D) 0.5 to 10 weight % of at least one coemulsifier based on an ethylene oxide-modified glyceride, (E) optionally 1 to 15 weight % of at least one humectant, (F) optionally up to 10 weight % of a metal soap, and (G) 6 to 35 weight % of water, wherein the weight % values relate to the total weight of the lotion composition. The lotioned tissue paper of the invention is very stable, shows excellent softness properties and is capable of efficiently transferring lotion to the skin of the user. Moreover, the lotion can be applied at relatively low temperatures and does not adversely affect the whiteness degree of the tissue paper.

  • Patent number: 6540960
    Abstract: A process useful for disinfecting medical instruments is presented involving reacting a hydrogen peroxide donor with an N-acyl compound in an aqueous medium having a pH of 9 to 11 to form an acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation, reducing the pH of the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation to pH 7 to 9; and contacting the acylated hydrogen peroxide preparation with a medical instrument. The process provides good antimicrobial activity with little corrosion. The process is effective against mycobacteria.
