The present invention relates to a peroxide delivery system. The peroxide delivery system includes a dry powder that releases the peroxide quickly and completely when necessary. The peroxide delivery system can be produced by combining a solution of peroxide or liquid peroxide with an inorganic solid support which is inert to the peroxide and is capable of adsorbing large amounts of the peroxide solution or liquid peroxide while remaining dry to the touch. The invention also relates to methods of combining the inorganic solid support with the peroxide solution or the liquid peroxide. The peroxide delivery system can be formulated into preparations of powders, liquids, foams, sprays, gels, ointments, creams, sticks, or pastes that can be used in a variety of applications such as cleaning, stain removal and antiseptics, for example. |
