HIGH CONCENTRATION SINGLE PHASE GLYCOL AEROSOL AIR SANITIZER WITH DIMETHYL ETHER PROPELLANT
Single-phase aserosol spray air sanitizers and deodorizers are disclosed. The preferred active ingredient for the air sanitization is a high concentration of triethylene glycol (TEG), in a single-phase aerosol formulation made possible by the use of dimethyl ether (DME) as a propellant. The combination of TEG and DME enables high concentrations of TEG to be utilized in a single-phase aerosol formulation, without requiring the use of ethanol or water as co-solvents. The formulation is useful for sanitizing air and removing bacteria and other malodorants from the air as well achieving higher bacteria kill rates than existing air sanitization formulations due to the high concentrations of TEG. Because the high concentration TEG aerosol formulation is a single-phase formulation, it can be utilized in automated spray or dispensing systems and do not require shaking or agitation prior to use. Disclosed formulations leave little or no visible residue on hard surfaces when dispensed into the air of a room.
