PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a disinfectant containing ethanol and acid having effects on inactivation and disappearance not only to bacteria, but also to virus, especially non envelope virus having no envelop such as norovirus, poliovirus and adenovirus, and having good use feeling such as dissolving a thickener uniformly without white turbidness deposition when adding the thickener and further not generating twist which is a pasty peeling article capable of being generated when a disinfectant or cosmetics containing the thickener is rubbed into hands.SOLUTION: There is provided a viscous disinfectant containing ethanol, acid and a thickener compound represented by the formula (1) with percentage content of the thickener compound of 0.1 to 20 wt.%. (1), where R1 to R6 are lower alkyl group or the like, n is 50 to 5000, m is 1 to 10 and k is 6 to 22.SELECTED DRAWING: NoneCOPYRIGHT: (C)2016,JPO&INPIT【課題】菌だけでなく、ウイルス特にノロウイルス、ポリオウィルス、アデノウィルス等のエンベロープを有さないノンエンベロープウイルスに対しても不活化、消滅に効力あるエタノール及び酸を含有する消毒剤であって、増粘剤を添加しても白濁沈殿することなく均一に溶解し、更に増粘剤入りの消毒剤や化粧品を手に擦り込んだ際に生じ得る糊状の剥離物であるヨレが生じること等のない使用感が良好な消毒剤の提供。【解決手段】エタノールと、酸と、式(1)で表わされる増粘化合物とを含有する粘稠消毒剤で、増粘化合物の含有割合が0.1~20重量%である粘稠消毒剤。[R1~R6は低級アルキル基等;nは50~5000;mは1~10;kは6~22]【選択図】なし
