  • Publication number: 20210299167
    Abstract: The germicidal aqueous teat dip compositions contain a stabilizing amount of a EO-PO copolymer composition and an antimicrobial effective amount of iodine. The iodine-based teat dip compositions can be used to reduce the incidence of contagious and environmental mastitis in dairy heads. The compositions can be applied to udder and teats of dairy herds to form a protective coating that can prevent infection from Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Klebsiella, and other pathogens.

  • Patent number: 10655086
    Abstract: A catalyzed highly alkaline cleaning composition for cleaning stainless steel and other surfaces, namely those treated in clean-in-place processes, is disclosed. The composition comprises gluconic acid or salt thereof (e.g. gluconate) to serve as a corrosion and stain inhibitor for the high alkalinity compositions. The composition retains the cleaning and corrosion prevention properties of conventional clean-in-place solutions while being less expensive to produce.
