This patent is for a kill and protect surface disinfectant and a hand sanitizer for combatting contact infection spread. The kill and protect surface disinfectant composition is comprised of between about 0.20% (w/w) to about 1.00% (w/w) benzalkonium chloride; between about 0.25% (w/w) to about 3.00% (w/w) hydrogen peroxide; between about 0.25% (w/w) to about 0.75% (w/w) 3-(tri-methoxysilyl)propyldimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride and between about 95.25% (w/w) to about 99.30% deionized water. The hand sanitizer is comprised of between about 0.05% (w/w) to about 0.20% (w/w) benzalkonium chloride; between about 0.20% (w/w) to about 0.50% (w/w) 3-(tri-methoxysilyl)propyldimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride; between about 0.25% (w/w) to about 0.75% (w/w) phenoxyethanol and between about 98.55% (w/w) to about 99.5% (w/w) deionized water. The two work together to safeguard a community from contact infection spread.

An office furnishing is provided that may include one or more surfaces coated with an antimicrobial treatment, which may include a silane quaternary ammonium salt and isopropyl alcohol. The silane quaternary ammonium salt may include an unreacted organofunctional silane to promote bonding to the surfaces of the office furnishing, such as 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride. The office furnishing article may include one of: a desk; a chair; a table; a bookcase; a hutch; shelves; an office divider panel; a file cabinet; a fax machine; a telephone; a computer; a keyboard; a monitor; a computer mouse; a book; a lamp; a binder; a stapler; an office stamp; and a desk pad. A method is also provided for coating these office furnishing articles with the antimicrobial treatment.

Compositions of matter that have antimicrobial properties and adhesion properties and are highly dispersible in aqueous solutions. The presence of a large number of silanols on the molecules of this invention creates a solubility or disperseability of these molecules in aqueous solutions that is not obtainable from prior art antimicrobial monomers.
