Solid cleaning composition including stabilized active oxygen component

Abstract: A solid cleaning composition comprises a source of active oxygen agent within a binder complex. The solid is formed by a binding agent that forms the ingredients into a solid. The binding agent is a composition formed by the solidification of a mixture of an organic sequestrant, including phosphonate or amino carboxylic acid or mixtures thereof, an active oxygen compound, and water. The solid composition can be dissolved in an aqueous solution creating an aqueous concentrate of the active oxygen at a useful concentration. The binding agent can also be used to bind additional functional materials and form a solid cleaning composition comprising the source of stabilized active oxygen as well as the additional functional material.

Performance monitoring system for warewashing machines

Abstract: A system for monitoring the performance of a warewashing machine generates proactive alarms that audible and/or visibly instruct operators to take corrective action of temperature, rinse pressure, loading, or other machine dificiencies occur. A data input feature enables the operator to add production data to the report for the calculation of machine efficiency. A water consumption measurement device provides realistic utility, water and sewage costs calculations for the warewashing machine.

Shelf stable, reduced corrosion, ready to use peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial compositions

Abstract: The present invention relates to shelf stable and/or less corrosive peroxycarboxylic acid antimicrobial compositions, including ready-to-use compositions. Shelf stable compositions can include defined ratios of hydrogen peroxide to peroxycarboxylic acid and/or hydrogen peroxide to protonated carboxylic acid, but need not include strong acid. Reduced corrosion compositions can include carboxylic acid and corrosion inhibitor at acid pH. Compositions of the invention can have advantageous activity against spores.

Hydroalcoholic antimicrobial composition with skin health benefits

Abstract: The invention pertains to an alcohol based antimicrobial skincare composition. The invention also pertains to an alcohol based antimicrobial skincare composition with skin health benefits including moisturization and skin barrier maintenance effects. The invention further pertains to an alcohol based antimicrobial skincare composition that is a stable emulsion that has a certain viscosity to it that provides containment, for example on a user's hands. Finally, the invention pertains to an alcohol based antimicrobial skincare composition that may be used in the healthcare industry, for example as a surgical scrub, healthcare personnel handwash, or patient pre-operative site preparation.
