decomposition-free
Explanation:
It could also refer to the degradation of its disinfectantactivity due to polymerization. However, research on this molecule by Bradley Moore (Previous VP or Researcg at Ohio State) uncovered yet another pathway to this decomposition. Joel Bowman and his group have investigated this molecule for may be a decade now... as well.

no sedimentation


Explanation:
According to Laixicon, one possible translation for Abseztung is "sedimentation", which might fit quite well here. "No sedimentation" works just as well as "sedimentation-free", and I think it sounds a little more natural. You can often translate German words ending in "-frei" by "no + noun".
