Abstract A sanitary liquid was prepared to prevent freezing in winter. The solution is a hygiene solution containing alcohols as a main component and a surfactant added thereto. 25% and 15% of ethanol and isopropyl alcohol were mixed, respectively, and 1% of benzalkonium chloride was added as a surfactant. The solution did not freeze for 48 hours at a temperature of minus 30 degrees. In addition, the solutions diluted to 75% and 50% did not freeze at -20 and -10° C, respectively. The concentration at which ethanol does not freeze at about -30 ° C is about 50%, and isopropyl alcohol is about 70%. However, when the two solvents were mixed with water, they did not freeze even at the lower concentration due to the synergistic effect of the colligative properties of a solution. The solution diluted to 25% was showed the 99.9% sterilizing power against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Pneumococcus, Salmonella.
