Abstract

Disinfectants having N,N-bis(3-aminopropyl)octlyamine as the active substance. The disinfectants are characterized by good activity also against mycobacteria, low efficiency loss under protein load and little foaming. The disinfectants are particularly useful for disinfecting surfaces, containers and pipelines, for instance, in the food industry, and for disinfecting instruments, especially automatic instrument disinfection at low temperatures.
