  • Patent number: 5389685
    Abstract: The color-stability of disinfectant formulations comprising bacteriocidal quaternary amine compounds, a non-ionic surfactant, and water is enhanced significantly by adding color-stabilizing amounts of an alkali bicarbonate. An alkali bicarbonate can be used in lieu of the art-accepted EDTA/NaOH builder in quaternary amine-based disinfectant formulations to enhance color stability without sacrificing the bacteriocidal efficacy of the formulations.
