Publication number: 20080245395Abstract: Antimicrobial compositions and methods eradicate and remove fungi and bacteria from indoor and outdoor structures and materials including porous substrates. The antimicrobial compositions can be made from gel precursors, utilized in gel states and adjusted to reduce the viscosity for applications where low viscosity is advantageous. The antimicrobial compositions applied to a surface can be wiped and rinsed to remove the antimicrobial composition and organic residue.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 6, 2007Publication date: October 9, 2008Inventor: Frank B.

Patent number: RE41279Abstract: The mastitis control teat dip composition having a visible indicator aspect of the invention provides a softening, soothing, smoothing, relaxing property, a rapid initial kill, a useful highly pseudoplastic rheology, a barrier/film-forming capacity, a unique antimicrobial composition that is stable over an extended period of time, and unexpected long term microbial control when compared to the prior art materials disclosed in patents and used in the marketplace. The indicator aspect provides ease of visually detecting the material on the animal skin and can indicate efficacy of the material. The compositions of the invention are made by combining an aqueous liquid composition containing the visual indicator combined with the organic components which can be combined with a simple aqueous solution of a salt of chlorous acid, preferably an alkali metal chlorite.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2006Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Ecolab Inc.Inventors: David D. McSherry, Francis L. Richter
