There is provided an ethyleneimine polymer (solution) capable of expressing excellent properties when used in such usages as, for example, coagulants for wastewater, papermaking chemicals such as freeness improvers and the like, enzyme immobilization agents, and adhesion improvers (for example, adhesion promoters for extrusion laminate (anchor coating agent)). To solve the above object, there is provided an ethyleneimine polymer solution including an ethyleneimine polymer and water, wherein a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of the ethyleneimine polymer is 200,000 or more, the weight average molecular weight (Mw) being measured based on pullulan by gel permeation chromatography (GPC), and a ratio of a component having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 30,000 or more is 60 mass % or more with respect to 100 mass % of a total amount of the ethyleneimine polymer.

A method of preparing a disinfecting composition comprising charged polyethylenimine (PEI), the method comprising adding a base to an aqueous solution comprising a linear PEI hydrochloride solution to provide a linear PEI salt solution with a pH between 9-11, adding a first organic acid to reduce the pH to less than 7, removing about 20% to 100% of the salt from the solution, and optionally adding water and/or a second organic acid to obtain the disinfecting composition with a pH of 2-7. The method can further comprise adding at least one metal salt to the disinfecting composition. The resulting disinfecting solution can be used to provide antimicrobial products with enhanced antimicrobial performance, reduced toxicity, and/or able to leave a persistent “kill-later” film.
