Stable, solid triamine compositions are disclosed. The pressed, cast, extruded or other solid compositions are suitable for antimicrobial, sanitizing and disinfectant applications. Ready-to-use solutions are obtained by dissolving the solid triamine compositions with water and the methods of use thereof are particularly suitable for cleaning, disinfecting, sanitizing, rinsing and/or lubricating. Beneficially, the solid triamine compositions are at least partially neutralized, allowing activity of 90% and greater of the biocidal triamine, and provide at least substantially similar or superior performance and micro efficacy to liquid formulations.

A lubricating composition includes an oil of lubricating viscosity, an N-alkyl naphthylamine, and at least one ashless antioxidant selected from a diarylamine antioxidant, a phenolic antioxidant, and mixtures thereof. The lubricating composition has a phosphorus content of less than 0.15 weight percent. The combination of the N-alkyl naphthylamine and ashless antioxidant provides a beneficial effect on the basicity of the composition without negatively impacting seals performance.
