A composite virucidal filter media is described. The filter media comprises a fibrous substrate comprising a plurality of intermingled fibers, a low cost, nontoxic, hydrophilic polymer without acidic functional groups deposited on a surface of the fibers without the formation of a continuous coating layer on the substrate, and a virucidal metal, a virucidal metal-containing compound, or combinations thereof deposited on the surface of the fibers comprising the hydrophilic polymer without acidic functional groups. The hydrophilic polymer without acidic functional groups can be charged or non-charged. Methods of making virucidal fibrous filter media are also described.

An object is to provide an excrement treatment agent, which can suppress not only the odor of feces but also the ammonia odor in various environments. An excrement treatment agent, comprising limonite, lignin and bentonite, wherein, when further comprising slaked lime, the amount of the slaked lime is 10 mass % or less.

A composition is provided for a disinfectant fogger and cleaner for interior surfaces of confined spaces. The composition is water based and has an aqueous disinfectant containing quaternary ammonium compounds as active disinfecting ingredients, non-ionic surfactants, and a malodor absorbing agent. The composition provides a disinfectant for hard-nonporous and soft surfaces and allows for immediate occupancy and contact with a cleaned interior surface. The composition may be packaged as a ready-to-use disinfectant spray in an aerosol container with an on/off lockable discharge actuator as fine mist droplets that are dispersed onto the target surfaces for treatment.

Process for the preparation of particles with antibacterial coating, which comprises the following steps: (a) providing an aqueous suspension containing a polyamine, a crosslinker and a porous organic or inorganic carrier material in particle form at a temperature lower than or equal to 10° C. in a mixer for coating the inorganic carrier material with the polyamine; (b) crosslinking the organic polymer in the pores of the inorganic carrier material and simultaneously removing water.

Methoxy polyethylene glycol for use as a medicament, in particular in skin healing, wound healing and treatment of a microbial infection. A method for treating a medical device and/or implant to reduce or eliminate microbial contamination comprises applying a liquid formulation comprising methoxy polyethylene glycol. This invention relates to the novel discovery that methoxy polyethylene glycol, an inactive polymer with no known pharmacological effect, was able to come between microbes and a surface, removing the microbes or releasing the attachment or adherence of the microbes to the surface and thereby improving wound healing significantly, eliminating infections and colonies of microbes.

A method of inactivating an enveloped ssRNA virus, such as SARS-CoV-2. The method involves contacting the enveloped ssRNA virus with an antiviral polyelectrolyte compound and/or a conjugated aromatic compound effective to inactivate the virus. The disclosure also provides a method of reducing the period of viability of enveloped ssRNA virus, such as SARS-CoV-2, on personal protective equipment, in filtered air, and on surfaces that have come into contact with the virus.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for using iodinated polymer as an antimicrobial agent to manage the suppression and disinfection of pathogens.

Provided are compositions and methods related to improved mucins, methods of making the improved mucins, and cells and cell cultures that express glycosylated mucins. The compositions and methods provide improved cell cultures, and improved methods of producing co-expressed proteins that are distinct from the mucins.

This present invention relates to a novel disinfectant fogger device and a disinfecting solution contained therein for disinfecting or sanitizing an enclosed space. The disinfecting solution is intended to kill germs, bacteria, viruses and other harmful microbes. The disinfectant fogger device is comprised of an aerosol container, the disinfecting solution, and a lock top nozzle that is repositionable from a first position to a second position by depressing the nozzle and then twisting it in a select clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Once activated, the pressurized disinfecting solution is released into the air, thereby killing germs, bacteria, viruses and other harmful microbes from all surfaces in the enclosed space.
