According to one embodiment, a method of managing messages in a trading network is provided. A set of user relationships between a first user and one or more second users authorized to act on behalf of the first user is stored. A trading message regarding a trading order submitted on behalf of the first user is received from a trading system. The trading message is communicated to the first user. Each of the second users is identifying from the set of user relationships. For each of the identified second users, a carrier message is generated that includes the trading message and routing information associated with that second user. For each of the identified second users, the respective carrier message is communicated toward a user application associated with that second user based at least on the routing information included in the respective carrier message.

A preservative composition comprising an isothiazolinone, such as 1,2-benzisothiazolin-3-one, and a polyethertriamine in a synergistic combination. The polyethertriamine enhances the antimicrobial activity of the isothiazolinone, achieving the desired antimicrobial activity at synergistically lower concentrations than with the isothiazolinone in the absence of the polyethertriamine. Also, methods of using the preservative compositions to provide wet-state preservation of industrial materials including paints, coatings, and metal working fluids.

The present invention addresses the problem of providing a novel application of meglumine or a salt thereof. The present invention is an antiseptic agent consisting of meglumine or a salt thereof, and a pharmaceutical composition comprising the antiseptic agent according to the present invention, and pertaining to: a pharmaceutical composition which does not comprise benzalkonium chloride and which is placed in a reusable container; a product that comprises the pharmaceutical composition comprising the antiseptic agent according to the present invention and a reusable container; and a method of improving the antiseptic effect of the pharmaceutical composition by comprising meglumine or a salt thereof in the pharmaceutical composition that has been placed in the reusable container.
