TOPIC: Disinfectant cleaner based on Triameen® Y12D-30 antimicrobial

Abstract: Nonionic primary surfactants are an essential ingredient in cleaning formulations. They increase the penetration of the cleaning solutions by reducing the surface tension. Cosurfactants or hydrotropes are also used in cleaning formulations to solubilize the primary surfactant and some even strongly support their cleaning power as additional effect. Triameen® Y12D-30 antimicrobial represents a highly effective biocidal amine with broad spectrum microbiological properties. In an intensive research project on optimization of cleaning and biocidal properties we developed two Disinfectant Cleaner Formulations based on Triameen® Y12D-30 antimicrobial as biocidal active substance. Both formulations showed excellent cleaning performance and passed biocidal efficacy according to the EN 13697 test at the same level of active substance (750 ppm).
