Benefits of technology

The present invention provides foamable compositions that can be used in various dispensers for foam products. The foam can be formed without the need for aerosolization, and the composition can be combined with air or another gas and passed through a mesh screen to form a foam. The alcoholic composition has disinfecting properties and can be used on a wide range of surfaces, including skin. The patent text is not limited to the examples provided and allows for modifications and alterations that do not negatively impact the scope and main idea of the invention.

Problems solved by technology

Properly formulated foam products do not produce the drip and splash that is experienced with traditional gelled or liquid products.

Embodiment Construction

[0006]In one or more embodiments, alcoholic compositions in accordance with this invention include at least one lower alcohol. In one embodiment, the lower alcohol contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms. Typically, these alcohols have antimicrobial properties. Examples of lower alcohols include, but are not limited to, methanol, ethanol, propanol, isopropanol, butanol, isobutanol, tertiary butanol, and mixtures thereof. In one embodiment, the alcohol comprises ethanol.

[0007]The alcoholic composition may include a mixture of C1-9 alcohols. In one or more embodiments, the alcoholic composition includes a mixture of one or more C1-4 alcohols and one or more C5-9 alcohols. The mixture may include primary, secondary, or tertiary alcohols.

[0008]Generally, the alcoholic composition comprises an amount of alcohol of at least about 40 weight percent (wt. %), based upon the total weight of the alcoholic composition. In one or more embodiments, the alcoholic composition comprises at least about 45 wt. %...

Abstract

Antimicrobial and foamable alcoholic compositions, where the compositions include at least about 40 wt. % of a C1-4 alcohol and one or more silane surfactants selected from (1) zwitterionic silane surfactants, (2) polyalkoxylated silane surfactants that contain at least one silane group and at least one polyalkylene oxide chain.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]This invention relates to antimicrobial and foamable alcoholic compositions, and more particularly, to alcoholic compositions that include one or more silane surfactants.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Foam cleaning products are popular, in part because they are easier to spread on surfaces. Consumers seem to prefer the luxury of foamed soap products. Less foam is needed to produce the same cleaning power as liquids or gels. Properly formulated foam products do not produce the drip and splash that is experienced with traditional gelled or liquid products. This prevents damage to the floors and walls of facilities where the product dispensers are used. Manufacturing of foam products may be easier than gelled products, which often incorporate powdered thickeners that are difficult to handle.[0003]Alcoholic products are popular as sanitizers for the skin. Aesthetics are important, and the user will be more likely to use a product that is not sticky or slimy, and i...
