The disclosed invention relates to a two-part liquid composition for cleaning and disinfecting a substrate, comprising: (A) a disinfectant medium comprising peracetic acid; and (B) a supplemental medium comprising a non-enzymatic cleaner, a corrosion inhibitor, and a chelator. The supplemental medium (B) may further comprise an enzymatic cleaner, a surfactant, a buffer, a pH modifier, or a mixture of two or more thereof. The substrate may be a medical device, for example, an endoscope.

The present disclosure is related to non-alpha-substituted, low molecular weight peracid compositions. The peracids have no or a negligible amount of odor, have good stability, and have antimicrobial properties. The peracid compositions can be formulated into a wide variety of end use products, including disinfectants, sanitizers, sporicides, fungicides, laundry products, hard surface cleaners, bleaching agents, personal cleansers, and water treatment products.

Provided are various methods and systems for producing peroxycarboxylic acid compositions, and in particular, nonequilibrium compositions of peracetic acid. The methods and systems control flow rates and proportions of feedstocks/reactants, perform the required sequence of reaction steps to produce high yield peroxycarboxcylic acid solutions in a continuous manner, and provide optimal reaction time and reactant mixing for continuous and safe on-site production.

A method for enhancing bleaching efficacy for treatment of articles, including for example laundry is disclosed. Methods for antimicrobial disinfecting and/or sanitizing and bleaching laundry and other articles is provided by washing the articles with a peroxyformic acid composition at a first pH for effective antimicrobial efficacy, thereafter applying an alkaline source to increase the pH for addition of a bleaching component. The methods can be provided as part of a laundry operation and can be utilized in industrial and commercial applications.

A multi-composition system that includes a first composition having a bleaching system, and a second composition having core-in-shell encapsulates, where the shell includes acrylate material, and where the core includes a benefit agent. Related methods of treating a fabric.

Stabilized peroxycarboxylic acid compositions are provided. The stable peroxycarboxylic acid compositions are particularly suitable for use in sanitizing equipment and surfaces to reduce yeasts, spores and bacteria, including those having contact with food, food products and/or components thereof, which require or benefit from infection control suitable for direct contact with such food sources are provided.

A detergent composition comprising a subtilisin variant having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, and at least one additional ingredient selected from i) bleaches selected from percarbonates, persulphates and organic peracids, ii) aminocarboxylates, or iii) sulphonated polymers, or iv) organophosphoric acids or salts thereof and mixtures thereof is provided. Also provided is a detergent composition comprising a subtilisin variant having the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 1, wherein the detergent composition is at least partially enveloped in a water soluble or water dispersible package. The compositions exhibit good performance on proteinaceous stains, even when formulated at alkaline pHs. A method of removing proteinaceous stains from surfaces comprising such stains is also provided.

A laundry composition comprises:- a) from 2 wt % to 10 wt % anionic soap surfactant, b) from 0.5 wt % to 2.5 wt % alkyl sulphate, c) from 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % nonionic surfactant, d) from 0.1 wt % to 2 wt % carboxy methyl cellulose, e) from 2 wt % to 12 wt % source of active oxygen.

The present invention relates to novel sulfoperoxycarboxylic acid compounds, and methods for making and using them. The sulfoperoxycarboxylic compounds of the invention are storage stable, water soluble and have low to no odor. Further, the compounds of the present invention can be formed from non-petroleum based renewable materials. The compounds of the present invention can be used as antimicrobials, and bleaching agents. The compounds of the present invention are also suitable for use as coupling agents.

A sachet system enclosed in a pouch is described, the pouch comprising at least two strips of film material of approximately the same size, one overlaid on the other, sealed together at their edges and further sealed together at least once at a point along at least one axis with a partial seal to form at least two joined substantially planar regions, one of which regions comprises a first compartment, another of which regions comprises a second compartment, and wherein the first compartment is separated from the second compartment by the partial seal. This sachet is described as comprising a burstable portion containing a fluid and located in the first compartment, the partial seal providing a communication path between the first compartment and the second compartment, and wherein the system is capable of being manipulated such that the burstable portion bursts, and arranged such that a fluid contents spilling from the burstable portion is communicated from the first compartment to the second compartment. A wetable material may be provided in the second compartment, whereby the wetable portion is wetted by a said fluid contents. A manufacturing method is also described.
