Abstract

A decontaminating composition and delivery system therefor. The decontaminating composition is prepared by combining a "per-salt", an activator for hydrogen peroxide which effects free radical formation, both of which are in a dry form and an aqueous solution comprised of a nonvolatile alcohol and a surface active agent. The "per-salt" of the present invention is a basic water-soluble salt such as percarbonate, perborate, persilicate or perphosphate which releases hydrogen peroxide in aqueous solution. While not true per-salts in the strict chemical sense, they are otherwise conventional salts containing hydrogen peroxide of crystallization which is released in aqueous solution. The decontaminating composition and delivery system comprise a dispenser containing, in separate compartments, the various components as aforesaid which are thoroughly mixed prior to being dispensed onto the surface to be treated.
