Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to peroxyformic acid forming compositions, methods for forming peroxyformic acid, preferably in situ, using the peroxyformic acid forming compositions. The present invention also relates to the peroxyformic acid formed by the above compositions and methods. The present invention further relates to the uses of the peroxyformic acid, preferably in situ, for treating a surface or a target. The present invention further relates to methods for treating a biofilm using peroxyformic acid, including peroxyformic acid generated in situ.

Claim (Index 208):
A method for forming peroxyformic acid comprising:\n contacting a first reagent that comprises an ester of a polyhydric alcohol and formic acid, and a\n second reagent that comprises hydrogen peroxide or that comprises a substance that generates hydrogen peroxide when in contact with a liquid, to form a liquid that comprises from about 0.1 ppm to about 100,000 ppm of peroxyformic acid and wherein the pH of said formed liquid becomes about 8 or lower within about 1 minute after the contact between said first reagent and said second reagent; and \n wherein the first reagent and the second reagent are contacted to form a solution that comprises\n at least about 1 ppm peroxyformic acid within about 1 minute of the contact time.
