Virucidal low toxicity compositions

Abstract From the Canadian patent

Very potent, stable, odorless, and phenol-free virucidal solutions are active at high dilution when used for surface decontamination of animate and inanimate objects. The virucidal compositions described are efficacious in a matter of minutes against both the lipophilic and the more resistant hydrophilic viruses. The three active ingredients in these virucidal compositions are the glutaraldehyde monomer in equilibrium with its hydrates and polymers hydrogen-bonded glycol molecules to eliminate aldehydes odor and, an anionic surfactant of the alkyl sulfate alkyl, sulfonate, alcohol sulfate or alkyl aryl sulfonate type. A preferred anionic surfactant would be the Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), …
