MICROBIOLOGICAL EFFECTIVENESS*
The use of hot water for laundry is becoming less and less important, not
only because of efforts to conserve energy but also because modern
synthetic and coloured fabrics can often tolerate temperatures of only 30-
60°C. At 95°C, the disinfection of laundry is not a problem. Heavy-duty
detergents containing perborate set hydrogen peroxide free in the wash
water, but its concentration of around 200 ppm in the washing bath is too
low to provide adequate disinfection action at 30-60°C. In the presence
of an activator such as T.A.E.D, the reaction with perborate or H2O2 in
the washing bath (in situ) forms peracetic acid. This is known as a good
disinfecting agent with a broad spectrum of action against pathogenic
germs, fungi, viruses and spores. The effectiveness of peracetic acid is
largely independent of the temperature and pH. When a heavy-duty
detergent with perborate and T.A.E.D is employed in the home washing
machine the concentration of peracetic acid is commonly 100-200mg/L
(0.01-0.02%), which is sufficient to kill all currently known pathogenic
germs. The use of heavy-duty detergents containing perborate and
T.A.E.D for household laundry thus contributes greatly to every day
hygiene even if the washing temperature is moderate (30-60°C)
YKON ‘A’ ACTIVATORS AS BIOCIDES*
The peracetic acid geminated from T.A.E.D is an effective low temperature
bleach and proven biocide. In tests specifically designed to stimulate the
laundry process we have shown that a significant reduction in the level of
bacterial contamination can be readily achieved at 40°C with a detergent
containing T.A.E.D and sodium percarbonate. These results are
equivalent to the more traditional high temperature thermal disinfection
used.
Mykon ‘A’ Activators in industrial and institutional laundries
Although thermal disinfection is the traditional practice in industrial and
institutional laundries, it is impractical for many of the textiles and fibre
compositions used in modern clothing. By using a T.A.E.D detergent
system, disinfection can be extended to include the more delicate fabrics
and fibres.
