The present disclosure refers to liquid and solid herbicide formulations containing glyphosate and glufosinate salts in high concentrations comprising surfactant compositions. In addition to containing one or more amphoteric surfactants of the trialkyl ammonium propanoate class, the surfactant composition of the present disclosure may include other surfactants and a hydrotrope that combines synergistically with the amphoteric surfactant. The surfactant composition has been shown to be compatible with several glyphosate and glufosinate salts and has promoted stabilization and easy processing of high herbicide concentrations with advantages in the agronomic efficacy of these formulations.

A disinfectant composition that is capable of inactivating non-enveloped viruses as well as other microorganisms, such as gram negative and gram positive bacteria, fungi, parasites, enveloped viruses, etc., is provided. Through selective control over the nature of the acid(s) employed and the overall pH level, the present inventors have discovered that the composition can achieve rapid antiviral efficacy, particularly against non-enveloped viruses. Once applied to a surface (e.g., hard surface), the disinfectant composition forms a film that remains capable of providing residual antiviral activity. Notably, the present inventors have discovered that the use of a vinylpyrrolidone copolymer in combination with a polyquaternary ammonium polymer and cationic surfactant can have a synergistic effect on the stability of the film such that it can also achieve long-term, residual antiviral activity.

An aqueous composition with a higher-than-neutral pH includes a significant amount of one or more surfactants and large amounts of osmotically active solutes. This composition, as well as an acidic counterpart and solid materials, can be used in a variety of applications such as wound care, oral care, medical equipment reprocessing, healthcare acquired infection and implant treatment.
