(ZA9408956-A)      Particulate-suspending concentrate compsn. for use with a diluent and comprising a carrier and: (a) a cationic cpd.; and (b) a surfactant. The compsn. provides a sanitising level of antimicrobial efficacy upon application.    Also claimed are: (A) a soln. contg. the compsn.; (B) an amine acetate-based conveyor lubricant; (C) a hard surface cleaning compsn.; (D) a clean-in-place compsn.; (E) and a method for suspending particulate matter and sanitising the area of contact.    USE/ADVANTAGE -   The compsn. when added to a closed or open system, provides increased suspension properties and an antimicrobial character within the system to which it has been added. The systems include tanks and pipelines used to process dairy prods., fruit beverages, carbonated beverages, beers, etc.. Provides a commercially viable means of suspending waste particulates in fluid systems to facilitate removal while simultaneously increasing system hygiene through antimicrobial action. In the case of a conveyor lubricant, lubricity may improve.    (US5462681-A)      Particulate matter is suspended and its area of contact sanitised, by (a) diluting a particulate suspending antimicrobial compsn. with a diluent; and (b) applying prod. to area of application. Concentrate comprises a carrier contg. (i) a conveyor lubricant; (ii) an antimicrobial amt. of quat. ammonium cationic cpd.; and (iii) a soil-suspending amt. of amphoteric surfactant.    Pref. (ii) is alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, (iii) is lauryliminodipropionic acid mono-sodium salt, and (i) is coco-1,3-diaminopropane and/or oleyl-1,3-diaminopropane.    USE -   For food service, brewing or bottling facilities.
