Definitions
- This invention relates to alcohol-based disinfectant compositions containing one or more additional ingredients which form a barrier against dust particles and particularly dust mites and their allergens. More . specifically, the invention relates to aerosol spray disinfectants suitable for indoor use which, in addition to having the usual antimicrobial properties, are also effective in preventing people from coming in contact with allergens found in dust, notably dust mite allergens. The invention also provides methods for effectively controlling dust mites and their allergens and for significantly reducing their attendant adverse reactions.
- Household dust generally comprises a variety of particulate matter including pollen, dust mites, dust mite allergens, dirt, skin cells, animal dander, insect parts, pillow feathers, food particles and mould spores. The particular constituents of dust will depend on location within the house, whether pets are present and other obvious factors.
- dust mites which inhabit rugs, carpets, and other fabric surfaces, particularly sofas, mattresses, pillows, upholstered chairs and the like.
- the mite Dermatophygoides pteronyssinus has been identified as a major source of house dust allergen.
- This mite and the related mites D . farinae, D. mi croceras and Euroglyph us maynei are the predominant house dust mites in temperate climates in North America , Europe, Australia and other areas. Dust mites are not insects, but are eight-legged arachnids, relatives to ticks and spiders. They live in close association with humans (or other mammals), their main food source being the shed scales from skin.
- Adult mites are approximately 300 microns (3/10 mm) in size, having developed over approximately 25 days through egg, larval and nymph stages. Adults live for 2 to 3-1/2 months, during which time each female can produce about 20-40 eggs. Dust mites are photophobic, living deep in pillows, mattresses, carpets, upholstered furniture and other soft materials.
- Dust mites are 75% water by weight. They do not drink water, but must absorb water vapor from the air in order to survive. Specialized glands above their pairs of legs produce secretions high in sodium and potassium chloride, which act to absorb water vapor from surrounding air. This can only be accomplished if the surrounding humidity is sufficiently high. Relative humidities of about 65-80% at temperatures ranging from about 20 to 35C are optimal for dust mite growth. Dust mites will die at humidities of 50% or less. In geographical areas where humidity is high, dust mites are present in nearly all homes and may be as plentiful as 18,000 mites per gram of dust. Literally millions of mites can inhibit a single bed or rug .
- a major dust mite allergen is present in mite faecal particles. Each mite produces about 20 faecal particles per day, and more than 100,000 of them may be present in a gram of dust. These particles vary from about 10 to 40 microns in size, comparable to the size of pollen grains, and become airborne during domestic activity such as making beds and vacuuming carpets.
- Group I allergens dermatophagoides farinae I - Der f I and dermatophagoides pteronyssinus I - Der p I
- These allergens appear to be structural homologues and have very similar N-terminal amino acid sequences.
- Group II allergens (Der p II and Der f II) are 15,000 molecular weight proteins with almost identical N-terminal amino acid sequences that are also secreted by the mite's gastrointestinal tract in the form of faecal allergens, although not in as high a concentration as the group I allergens. This suggests that they probably derived from a source other than the gut. Their actual function has not been determined.
- Acute exposure to mite allergens has been shown to induce wheezing, rhinitis, eustachian tube obstruction or eczema in sensitized patients.
- Chronic exposure can cause bronchial hyper-reactivity and chronic asthma.
- asthmatics sensitive to dust mites improve in environments without mites, such as at high altitudes or in hospital rooms . Attempts have therefore been made to decrease patients ' exposure to dust mites in the home.
- Various chemical agents have been used against mites, including: compounds known under the common names as resuethrin, phenothrin, permethrin, allethrins, tetramethrin, furamethrin, cypermethrin, decamethrin, phenvalerate, phenpropathrin, terallethrin, empenthrin and pyrethrin; pyrethroid compounds such as l-ethynyl-2-methyl-2-pentenyl-2 , 2-dimethyl-3, 3- (2 , 2-dichlorovinyl) -cyclopropane-1-carboxylate, l-ethynyl-2-methyl-2-pentenyl-2, 2,3, 3-tetramethylcyclopropane -1-carboxylate, ⁇ -cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl-2 , 2-dimethyl-3- (2,2,3- tribromomethyl) -cyclopropane
- miticidal compounds disclosed in the art can, under proper conditions of use, be effective in killing dust mites and thus helpful in reducing the level of allergens produced by said mites .
- Laundering and dry cleaning of textiles and fabrics can also be effective under certain conditions, but this is not practical for day-to-day control.
- compositions containing acaricidally effective compounds will kill off the mites, but will not remove their faecal matter and the associated allergens.
- Vacuuming either by itself or as a final step in a method involving chemical treatment, is often not effective because the pick-up nozzle of the vacuum cleaner cannot effectively fit into all of the crevices in upholstered furniture.
- vacuuming is done under special conditions such as use of a two-ply vacuum bag or HEPA filter, the allergens will be dispersed into the ambient air, therefore doing more harm than good.
- an aerosol composition suitable for spraying onto a surface of a fabric, which composition comprises i) from 30% to 90% of a C 1 -C 4 alcohol, ii) 0 to 60% water and iii) from 1% to 20% of a polymer, soluble in said alcohol or soluble in water or both soluble on alcohol and water (preferably soluble in alcohol) which, upon evaporation of the alcohol and/or water (preferably alcohol), leaves a film on said surface.
- compositions typically also contain water and, alternatively, the polymer can be one which is water-soluble or one which is soluble in both water and the alcohol.
- compositions optionally can include from about 0.1% to about 10% of an acaricidal ingredient such as benzyl benzoate.
- Said compositions in addition to their usual disinfecting properties, are effective aids for controlling dust mites and, when the compositions also contain an acaricidal ingredient, also kill the mites.
- the compositions can also comprise one or more additional disinfectants such as a quaternary ammonium compound, a phenol-based antimicrobial agent, or a botanical oil with disinfectant properties.
- the compositions can also comprise a suitable propellant, and other ingredients such as wetting agents, surfactants, preservatives and anti-corrosion agents.
- the mites and allergens associated with dust mites can be controlled by applying, more particularly by spraying, the compositions of this invention onto the surface of textile fabrics infested with said mites. This sets up a barrier which prevents the dust mites and their excreted faecal matter from coming in contact with people.
- the composition additionally includes an acaricidal ingredient such as benzyl benzoate, the mites are killed and the production of additional allergens thereby halted.
- a method for controlling dust mites and their allergens which method comprises spraying onto a textile fabric surface an alcohol-based disinfecting composition containing from about 1.0% to about 20.0% of a polymer soluble in said alcohol and which, on evaporation, leaves on the surface a film. It is this film which acts as a barrier to dust mites and their faecal excretions and to other particles present in household dust and their associated allergens.
- the compositions optionally can include from about 0.1% to about 10% of an acaricidal ingredient such as benzyl benzoate, in which case the method is additionally a method for killing dust mites. In many circumstances, particularly with the infestation of dust mites is not great, this spraying step will provide effective control of dust mite allergens by preventing their escape into the ambient air.
- a more effective method for control of dust particles, in particular dust mites and their associated faecal matter, is to remove as many dust mites and faecal particles as possible by vacuuming under conditions where the particles are not blown into the ambient air; for example, using a two-ply filter system or an HEPA system.
- the vacuuming step is then followed up by spraying the fabric surface with a composition described above.
- a still further procedure for dust mite control involves a three-step method, the first step being application to the fabric surface, for example, by spraying of a composition comprising a known acaricidal agent, such as benzyl benzoate. This is followed up, after a suitable time for drying, by vacuuming as discussed above. In this procedure, the vacuuming step is somewhat more effective since most of the mites are dead and not clinging to the fibres.
- the final step is spraying the fabric surface with an aerosol composition according to this invention.
- the aerosol compositions of this invention comprise, as essential ingredients, an alcohol having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, preferably ethanol, and a polymer soluble in the alcohol, which results in a barrier film on a surface when the alcohol evaporates.
- the compositions will typically and preferably also comprise up to about 15% of water and, as an alternative, the polymer can be one which is soluble in water.
- the use of an alcohol-soluble polymer is preferable in view of the faster evaporation rate of alcohol.
- compositions can also include an acaridical ingredient such as benzyl benzoate or another known chemical substance effective against dust mites such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,800,196, pertinent portions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- an acaridical ingredient such as benzyl benzoate or another known chemical substance effective against dust mites such as those disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,800,196, pertinent portions of which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the principal disinfecting ingredient is a low molecular weight alcohol, typically an alcohol having from 1-4 carbon atoms such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, with ethanol being preferred.
- the disinfecting properties of such alcohols are well known. They form the basis of many commercial disinfecting compositions and such compositions have attained great consumer acceptance.
- the alcohol also functions as a solvent for the polymer and for some of the other ingredients optionally present in the compositions of this invention and provides for rapid drying time in a household environment.
- the amount of alcohol present in the composition ranges from about 30% to 90%, preferably from 70% to 85%, based on the weight of the composition, and exclusive of any propellent contained in said composition.
- the polymer used in the compositions of this invention is preferably one which is soluble in the alcohol component and must be a polymer which, after spraying and evaporation of the solvents in the composition, will leave a protective barrier film on the sprayed surface.
- any such polymer must meet the criteria of consumer safety and, since the contemplated use of the compositions is in an indoor environment, the polymer should not have an offensive odor.
- All polymers which meet the foregoing criteria are suitable for inclusion in the subject compositions and these include, but are not limited to, polyester resins, acrylate polymers and copolymers, methacrylate polymers and copolymers, polyvinyl pyrrolidone and copolymers comprising vinyl pyrrolidone, butyl maleate/isobornyl acrylate copolymers, thermoplastic polyamides, nylon resins, polyvinyl alcohols and polyether polyols .
- a suitable group of ethanol-soluble polymers are polyacrylates and their copolymers . Because of their known safety, film-forming polymers used in hair treatment formulations have been found to be especially suitable.
- Examples include certain of the products sold under the following trade designations: ADVANTAGE CP, GAFFIX, GANTREZ and the PVP/VA Series of International Specialty Products; AMPHOMER, VERSATYL and RESYN of National Starch & Chemical Company; DANTOIN of Lonza Inc.; DELSETTE of Hercules Incorporated; DIAFORMER of Clariant Corporation; LUVIFLEX, LUVISET, LUVIQUAT and LUVISCOL of BASF Corporation; and STEPANHOLD of Stepan Company.
- These polymeric substances are generally soluble in ethanol; some are also soluble in water.
- the significant feature of the polymer useable in this invention is that it must form a film which will act as a barrier to both dust mites themselves and to their faecal excretions.
- a powder is not suitable for this purpose, and likewise a polymer film which immediately breaks down to flakes or particles will not be suitable.
- the film should remain intact for at least seven days, preferably for a period of from 10 to 30 days .
- the amount of polymeric material in the composition is from about 1% to about 20% by weight, preferably from 1% to 7%, and more preferably from 2% to 5% by weight, exclusive of any propellent in said composition.

- textile surfaces such as sofas, upholstered chairs, bedding, pillows, rugs, carpets, etc. known to be infested with dust mites.
- dust mites and their allergens are equally effective against dust particles in general and against other allergens associated therewith, including pollen and animal dander.
- the preferred mode of application is by means of a self-contained aerosol spraying device. Spraying should be carefully done, ensuring that, for example, all sides of pillows are sprayed, that the spray reaches to corners and crevices, etc.
- the spraying step alone will reduce the amount of allergens by preventing the escape of dust mite faecal particles into the ambient atmosphere.
- a more effective method of dust mite control involves an initial step of vacuuming up from textile surfaces as many as possible of the dust mites and their associated faecal particles. It is important, when performing this step, that the vacuuming be done under conditions whereby the particles are not blown into the ambient air.
