Abstract

The present invention relates to the use of peracid esters for improving surface wetting during the disinfection of surfaces and to synergistic antimicrobial combinations of peracid esters with further components.

Claims

1. An antimicrobial composition for the cleaning and disinfection of surfaces containing at least one peracid ester corrcsponding to the following general formula:

2. An antimicrobial synergistically acting composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein fatty acid a) contains 8 to 12 carbon atoms in the molecule.

3. A composition as claimed in claim 1, wherein the composition, based on the composition as a whole, contains 0.0001 to 15% by weight of a peracid ester and

a) 0.01 to 15% by weight of at least one fatty acid containing 8 to 18 carbon atoms and

b) 0.01 to 15% by weight of at least one surface-active foam carrier component.
