The present invention relates to an antimicrobial aqueous composition suitable for use as a sealant, sizing, coating or varnish, use thereof, and a method of manufacture thereof. The invention also provides the use of the antimicrobial aqueous composition, and an article coated with the antimicrobial aqueous composition.

This present invention relates to a portable disinfection device for dispersing a unique disinfecting solution into a room or enclosed space. The disinfecting solution may comprise one or more of a an ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, a lemon or fruit scent, an aldehyde, a chlorine compound, an oxidizing agent, a phenol, a quaternary ammonium, and a propellant, wherein the amount of the ethyl or isopropyl alcohol is at least 60% of the disinfecting solution by weight. The disinfecting solution is stored in a pressurized canister, and a release tab is pressed down for controlling the release of the disinfecting solution into the room from the canister. The disinfecting solution kills 99.9% of the germs and pathogens that it contacts.
