Abstract:
An aqueous disinfecting and cleaning composition in concentrated form which exhibits reduced irritancy which comprises:a disinfecting effective amount of a quaternary ammonium compound having germicidal properties.0.01-10% wt. of a nonionic surfactant compound which is based on a polymeric alkylene oxide block copolymer;a mitigating effective amount of a compound selected fromA) ethoxylated Cellulose wherein the relative weights of the polymeric alkylene oxide block copolymer to the ethoxylated cellulose is from 1:0.1 to 1:1;C) alkylamidopropylbetaine wherein the relative weights of the polymeric alkylene oxide block copolymer to the alkylamidopropylbetaine is from 2:1 to 1:2;0.1-10% wt. of a second nonionic surfactant;0-3% wt. of a polymeric cationic surfactant based on a polyquaternary ammonium salt;0-3% wt. of a builder;optionally, minor amounts of up to about 5% wt. of one or more conventional additives particularly coloring agents, fragrances and fragrance solubilizers, viscosity modifying agents such as thickeners, pH adjusting agents and pH buffers including organic and inorganic salts; and,water to form 100% wt. of the aqueous disinfecting and cleaning composition in concentrated form.
