Biodegradable alkaline disinfectant cleaner with analyzable surfactant

摘要

An aqueous, alkaline cleaning composition for use on hard-to-clean soils, encountered inpharmaceutical, personal care, food and cosmetic manufacturing, comprising asource of alkalinity, a biodegradable surfactant system further comprising oneor more surfactants, one or more hydrotropes, and a UV-analyzable surfactant, anda biodegradable chelating agent. The composition offers unique advantages ofstability over the expected shelf life, low-foaming property, phosphate-free andbiodegradable components, and unexpectedly enhanced antimicrobial, including virucidal,activity in one cleaning composition. The UV-analyzable surfactant allowsfor validation of cleaning processes using known techniques for manufacturers whoare required or desire to do so.
