How it works

70% w/w ethanol gel with carbomer thickener, glycerine softener and minimal fragrance, formulated to BS EN 14476 and EN 1500 hand hygiene standards.

Ethanol at 60-80% denatures membrane proteins on contact, killing bacteria, enveloped viruses and many non-enveloped viruses within 20 seconds. The carbomer holds the alcohol in contact long enough for kill; glycerine prevents skin drying.

Wet hygiene environments concentrate microbes. A hand gel station at every entry and exit is the simplest, cheapest reduction in cross-contamination, and a regulator expectation for commercial wet sites.

Frequently asked questions

How much do I use?

One full pump (2-3 ml) per application; rub for 20 seconds until dry.

Does it kill viruses?

Yes. 70% ethanol meets BS EN 14476 against enveloped viruses (including coronaviruses) within 20 seconds.

Personal or facility size?

500 ml dispensers for personal and staff stations; 5 L refills for facility-scale top-up.

Pack sizes?

500 ml pump-dispenser bottles, 5 L refill drums, single or 6-pack dispenser cartons.

Is it skin friendly?

Yes. Glycerine softener prevents the typical alcohol-gel dryness; suitable for repeated daily use.

Does the strength matter?

70% ethanol is the WHO and BS EN standard for hand hygiene. Below 60% is not effective; above 80% dries skin without extra kill benefit.

What is the active ingredient?

Ethanol at 70% w/w with carbomer thickener and glycerine softener.

Standards?

BS EN 14476 (virucidal), BS EN 1500 (hygienic hand rub), BS EN 12791 (surgical hand prep limited).

Shelf life?

36 months unopened; 24 months once opened. Discard if gel discolours or thickens.

Pump blocked?

Soak head in warm water; re-prime.

Skin dry?

Apply hand cream after final use; switch to fragrance-free if reactive.

Hand gel vs soap and water?

Soap and water is gold standard for visibly dirty hands; hand gel is the fast top-up between washes. Use both.
