Abstract

L'invention porte sur une composition liquide de nettoyage et désinfection de surfaces dures. Les présents inventeurs ont trouvé que l'incorporation de chlorure de benzalkonium et de sels choisis d'acide dicarboxylique ou tricarboxylique, lorsqu'ils sont combinés à du thymol ou du terpinéol, assure un effet antimicrobien synergétique d'une manière rapide et qu'une telle efficacité est obtenue à de très faibles concentrations en thymol et/ou en terpinéol.
