Abstract: A stable antimicrobial aqueous hypochlorous acid solution that retains its activity for at least three months and can be provided with high levels of hypochlorous acid (more than 500 ppm), the aqueous hypochlorous acid composition having low chloride concentrations (maximum chloride levels of 1:3 chloride to hydrochlorous acid) and a pH between 3.5 and 7.0 to stabilise the composition without the need for additional stabilisers. A solid composition is also provided for producing the stable solution.

Abstract: A conveyor lubricant composition comprises water, a viscosity modifier at a concentration of from 0.01% to 5% by weight of the composition, and a humectant. A surfactant and a biocide are preferably included in the composition, and the humectant is preferably included at a concentration of 10 to 40% by weight of the composition. The composition is superior to conventional aqueous soap- and detergent-based lubricants.
