Synergistic acidic ternary biocidal compositions

摘要: Aqueous dilutions of acidic ternary compositions having unusually synergistic antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella choleraesuis microorganisms are disclosed. The encompass component mixtures an alpha-hydroxycarboxylic acid, a monohydric water soluble alkanol anionic tenside Ternary Ratio residing within defined phase region wherein is observed; whereas outside the those lacking any one components do not exhibit activity. Compositions, methods articles employing inventive compositions, their utility in sanitizing disinfecting hard surfaces described.
