Abstract: The present invention generally relates to anti-microbial formulations and methods of their use and production. The formulations of the present invention are effective as broad spectrum anti-bacterial agents with efficacy against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria, as anti-viral agents with efficacy against both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, and as anti-fungal agents with efficacy against both vegetative and spore forms of microorganisms and against biofilms. The present invention includes anti-microbial compositions that have at least one surfactant, at least one acid, at least one peroxide (preferably hydrogen peroxide), peracetic acid, and water. The anti-microbial Formulations of the present invention may additionally contain an organic salt. The organic salt may be a salt of the same acid that is used in the Formulation or a salt of a different acid. Methods for production and use of the inventive compositions are disclosed.
Abstract: The present invention is a quick-kill formulation that is able to kill organisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mold, spore-forming bacteria and combinations thereof. In addition, the formulation contains a residual kill component that is effective for at least one day. The unique formulation is effective without being corrosive. This is an advantage that allows it to be used in a wide range of applications, one application being in the medical field for sterilizing instruments. Another improvement of this formulation over the prior art is that it is stabilized such that, unlike prior art formulations, tap water, as opposed to distilled water, may be used in its manufacture.
