Abstract: This invention relates to a composition comprising at least 50% water, silver halide particles and a hydrophilic polymer, wherein the composition does not substantially gel or solidify at 25 degrees C.; is substantially free of organic solvents; and exhibits antimicrobial activity upon drying. The composition may further comprise a hydrophobic binder or a crosslinker for the hydrophilic polymer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an article having a fiber including an antimicrobial agent to inhibit growth of microorganisms. The article inhibits the growths of microorganisms in biological, physiological fluids, and non-biological solutions. The article includes a fibrous structure and silver halide particles applied to the fibers to inhibit the growth of the microorganism.

Abstract: A method is taught for cleaning photographic chemistry product fouling, including a proteinaceous portion and a non-proteinaceous portion from a liquid delivery system. The method comprises the steps of displacing resident product solution in the piping with water, hydrodynamically cleaning the piping system using two-phase flow a first time, chemically cleaning the piping system with an aqueous bleach solution to remove the proteinaceous portion of the photographic chemistry product fouling, chemically cleaning the piping system with a functionalized ethyl acetate solvent to remove the non-proteinaceous portion of the photographic chemistry product fouling, and hydrodynamically cleaning the piping system using two-phase flow a second time after the chemical cleaning steps to remove remaining residue. Preferably, after the second hydrodynamic two-phase flow cleaning step, the delivery system is subjected to a high purity water rinse.
