The present disclosure is directed to alcohol-based anti-adherent compositions that do not adhere to or attract Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria once it is applied to a surface and dried. The composition may include as anti-adherent agents, hydrophilic film-formers such as cellulosics, gums, acrylates, nonionic polymers, and anionic polymers. Examples of anti-adherent agents include Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Cellulose gum, Acacia Senegal Gum; Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-11, VP/Dimethyl-aminoethylmethacrylate/Polycarbamyl Polyglycol Ester; Acrylates/Vinyl Neodecanoate Crosspolymer, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, Hydroxypropylcellulose, Methylcellulose, Propylene Glycol Alginate, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, VP/Polycarbamyl Polyglycol Ester, Acrylates/Steareth-20 Methacrylate Copolymer; Acrylates Copolymer, and any combination thereof. The anti-adherent may be applied to surfaces using a vehicle such as a wipe.

This invention relates to a process for preparing color dispersions comprising a first step of contacting water, a first colorant, and a polysaccharide selected from methylcellulose, hydropropylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylmethylcellulose, hydroxybutylmethylcellulose, hydroxyethylethylcellulose, and the mixture thereof, to form a first colorant dispersion; a second step of contacting the first colorant dispersion with a protective composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles, clay, and a peptizing agent to form a dispersion of protected first colorant particles; an optional third step of repeating the first step and the second step with a second colorant that is different from the first colorant to form a dispersion of protected second colorant particles; and an optional fourth step of mixing the dispersions of protected first and second colorant particles to form a multi-color dispersion. This invention also relates to a color dispersion comprising the first colorant dispersion, and a color coating comprising the color dispersion.
