Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to single dose, or unitary disinfecting concentrates that are stable in a dissolvable container. The disinfecting concentrate includes at least one biodegradable carboxylic acid and at least one anionic surfactant, and is stable for at least one week at 54° C. as measured according to EPA storage stability test protocol (830.6317).

Abstract: Generally, the present disclosure is directed to single dose, or unitary disinfecting concentrates that are stable in a dissolvable container. The disinfecting concentrate includes at least one biodegradable carboxylic acid and at least one anionic surfactant, and is stable for at least one week at 54° C. as measured according to EPA storage stability test protocol (830.6317). While exhibiting good stability, the disinfecting concentrate is also able to dissolve quickly in water, and, once diluted, exhibits a micro efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, or both Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus at 3 minute contact time according to the Germicidal Spray Test method AOAC 961.02.

Abstract: A disinfectant composition and method of use are disclosed that is particularly effective against viruses such as the Coronavirus and Norovirus. The disinfectant composition contains a carbonate/bicarbonate salt of a quaternary ammonium compound or didecyl dimethyl ammonium chloride and water. The quaternary ammonium compound is at very low concentrations while still remaining effective against viruses and hospital bacteria. The disinfectant composition can contain an anti-microbial agent at concentrations that meets the environmental protection agencies level for food tolerance. Thus, the composition can be sprayed onto an adjacent surface without having to undergo a potable water rinse.

Abstract: An antimicrobial composition contains hydrogen peroxide, an organic sulfonic acid, and a peroxide adjuvant. The peroxide adjuvant is a small molecule organic acid, such as formic acid. The antimicrobial composition is very effective at sanitizing surfaces in all different types of fields, such as in the healthcare industry. The antimicrobial composition is well suited for controlling C.difficile.

Abstract: A disinfecting composition comprising a quaternary ammonium acid compound and hydrogen peroxide is disclosed. An embodiment of the composition comprises a quaternary ammonium acid compound in a hydrogen peroxide/water solution. In addition, the composition can further comprise an acid. In addition, the composition does not comprise a cationic polymer. The disclosure also provides methods of using the same to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, mildew, and mold. The disclosure also provides for methods of disinfecting a substrate, preferably a hard surface, comprising applying a disinfecting composition of the invention to the substrate.

Abstract: A dual component tooth whitening composition is disclosed, which composition contains a peroxide whitening and a second ingredient incompatible with the peroxide compound, the second ingredient and the peroxide compound each being incorporated in separate dentifrice components which are physically separated until dispensed for use, the components retaining their original physical state when in contact, the first component being a composition containing a peroxide whitening compound in a vehicle thickened with a combination of a particulated water insoluble inorganic compound and an organic thickener other than an alkylene oxide polymer, and the second component containing the ingredient incompatible with the peroxide.

Abstract: Oral compositions, such as oral gels and toothpastes, containing a novel high cleaning, low abrasion silica hydrogel abrasive.

Abstract: A catalytic process for the hydrolysis of alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymers, involving a base catalyst.

Abstract: A process for preparing a cross-linked alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer having improved linear viscoelastic properties desired in oral care preparations, wherein the cross-linking of an alkyl vinyl ether/maleic anhydride copolymer with a polyol compound is carried out at a temperature of from about 50.degree. to about 90.degree. C. and the cross-linked product is recovered.
