Abstract: The invention relates to an aerosol container for pharmaceutically active aerosols that are to be administered in predetermined amounts and that are supplied in the container in the form of a suspension, the suspension also comprising, in addition to a pharmaceutically active substance, at least a propellant gas. The aerosol container has a metering valve that comprises a metering chamber and a valve stem. In a first position of the valve stem, the metering chamber is in communication with the interior of the container and has been filled with a predetermined amount of the aerosol. In a second position of the valve stem, the amount of aerosol disposed in the metering chamber is released. The propellant gas is an alternative propellant gas that is free of fluorochlorohydrocarbons, preferably a propellant gas that comprises only fluorohydrocarbons, and the inner wall of the container is coated with a plastics coating.

Abstract: Disclosed is the use of the compound of formula wherein R1 is hydrogen; or C1-C5alkyl for the fungicidal treatment of hard surfaces and textile fiber materials. The compounds of formula (1) impart antifungal properties to washed textile material. Bacteria that get on the textile material while it is being worn are destroyed.

Abstract: A surface-active composition is described which comprises (a) from 0.01 to 90% by weight of a mixture of a microbicidal active ingredient of (a1) a diphenyl ether compound and (a2) a phenol derivative, (b) from 0 to 50% by weight of one or more hydrotropic agents, (c) from 0 to 80% by weight of one or more synthetic detergents or of a soap or of combinations of the mentioned substances and/or of a salt of a saturated and/or unsaturated C8–C22 fatty acid, (d) from 0 to 50% by weight of an alcohol, (e) from 0 to 50% by weight of typical ingredients for cleaning and disinfectant compositions and optionally (f) tap water or deionised water ad 100%. The compositions are used for the antimicrobial treatment of human skin and hair, of hard surfaces and of textile fibre materials.

Abstract: There are described surface-active soap compositions containing (a) from 0.01 to 2% by weight of an antimicrobial active ingredient from the class of diphenyl ethers, (b) from 0.1 to 30% by weight of a hydrotropic agent, (c) from 6.0 to 50% by weight of one or more synthetic detergents or soaps or a combination of such substances, (d) from 0 to 70% by weight of a monohydric or dihydric alcohol, and (e) tap water or deionised water ad 100%. The composition is used for disinfecting and cleaning human skin and hands and hard objects, and in washing and cleaning formulations for textile fibre materials.
