Claims
- 1. A method of preparing a composition of matter which possesses antiseptic, bacteriacidal, germicidal fungicidal and viricidal properties and which comprises the following steps:
- (a) preparing a two phase liquid aqueous system wherein one phase is a lipoidal, non polar liquid aqueous phase, herein also referred to as the coacervate phase and the second phase is an equilibrium water phase;
- (b) separating the coacervate phase from the equilibrium water phase; and
- (c) dissolving an agent effective against pathogenic micro-organisms in the coacervate phase; wherein the agent is selected from the group consisting of iodine in either crystalline or liquid form, iodophores and urea.
- 2. The method of claim 1 which comprises the additional step of adding urea to the two phase liquid aqueous system and wherein the active agent is selected from the group consisting of iodine in crystalline or liquid form and iodophores.
- 3. The method of claim 1 wherein the two phase liquid aqueous system is prepared by using a surface active agent.
- 4. The method of claim 1 wherein the two phase liquid aqueous system is prepared by using a component selected from the group consisting of acacia and gelatin complexes.
- 5. The method of claim 1 wherein the two phase liquid aqueous system is prepared by using from 1 to 10% of a surfactant.
- 6. The method of claim 1 wherein the product of step (c) can range in pH from 3.4 to 7.5.
- 7. The method of claim 3 wherein the surfactant used is selected from the group consisting of benzylknoium chloride and sodium dioctyl sulphosuccinate.
- 8. A composition of matter prepared according to the method of claim 1 which is useful as an antiseptic, germicide, bacteriacide, fungicide and viricide.
