What is Hand Sanitizer?
Hand Sanitizer is a liquid or gel used to disinfect and sanitize the hands, typically when soap and water are not readily available. It contains active ingredients, such as alcohol or antimicrobial agents, that are effective in killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria, viruses, and other microorganisms on the skin.
Hand sanitizer is utilized to reduce the risk of spreading infections and promotes hand hygiene in many different settings, including healthcare facilities, public spaces, workplaces, and personal daily routines.
Sanitizers are available as a hand gel, hand spray, or wall-mounted dispenser. It is available as either alcohol or chlorhexidine formula in a wide range of bottle sizes, from 60ml to 1L.
AdvaCare Pharma is a leading Hand Sanitizer manufacturer and distributor. This product has been produced in facilities located in India, China, and the USA. These facilities regularly undergo stringent audits in order to ensure their compliance with ISO/CE regulations.
Product Specifications
Type
Hand Gel Sanitizer is applied by squeezing a small amount into the palm of the hand and thoroughly rubbing it until dry, which eliminates the need for rinsing with water. This option provides a convenient and portable solution for sanitizing hands while on the go. The gel-based formula effectively kills a wide range of bacteria and viruses, providing quick and efficient hand hygiene.
Hand Spray Sanitizer can be applied by directly spraying it onto the hands, ensuring complete coverage. The hands are rubbed together until they are dry. This option offers a quick and convenient application, which is particularly useful when sanitizing a larger area.
Hand spray sanitizers provide the same level of effectiveness as gel sanitizers but with the added benefit of a wider coverage area. This sanitizer is suitable for use in many types of settings, including homes, offices, and public spaces.
Wall-Mounted Dispenser is a stationary device containing a reservoir of sanitizing liquid or gel. It is typically installed on a wall or mounted on a surface and is equipped with a push button or motion sensor. The user places their hands under the dispenser, and a controlled amount of sanitizer is released, providing a touch-free and convenient application method.
Disinfectant
Alcohol is a potent antimicrobial agent that effectively targets a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It works by denaturing proteins and altering the cell membranes of microorganisms, which leads to their inactivation. Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are fast-acting and evaporate swiftly without leaving any residue on the skin after use.
Chlorhexidine demonstrates efficacy against a broad spectrum of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative strains. Additionally, it exhibits some activity against select fungi and enveloped viruses. Compared with alcohol-based sanitizers, chlorhexidine hand sanitizer provides a longer-lasting antimicrobial effect, as it adheres to the skin and continues to release antimicrobial properties over an extended period of time.

Uses
What is Hand Sanitizer used for?
It is used to kill or inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the hands and it can be used when soap and water are not readily available.
How is Hand Sanitizer used?
A small amount of sanitizer gel should be applied to the palm of the hand. And then it should then be rubbed across the surfaces of both hands, including between fingers and fingertips, until dry. Hand sanitizer should be used when hands are visibly clean because it is not as effective when there are large amounts of dirt or grease.
How should Hand Sanitizer be stored?
It is advised to store hand sanitizer in a cool, dry place that is away of direct sunlight or heat sources. The bottle should be tightly closed when not in use, as this helps prevent evaporation and maintains its effectiveness. Open and unused bottles of hand sanitizer should be stored out of reach of children and pets.
What are the recommendations for the disposal of Hand Sanitizer?
In most cases, empty bottles can be thrown out with regular household waste. It is not recommended to flush sanitizer down the toilet or pour it down the drain in order to avoid potential environmental contamination.
FAQs
What are the benefits of Hand Gel, Hand Sprays, and Wall-Mounted Sanitizers?
Hand gel is a popular choice as it provides a portable and quick method of sanitizing hands without the need for water. Hand sprays offer a larger coverage area and are often preferred when a more extensive application is desired. Wall-mounted sanitizers are convenient for public spaces and encourage regular hand sanitization by providing easy access.
Where are the different sizes of bottles commonly used?
Smaller-sized bottles, such as the 60ml, 100ml, and 120ml bottles, are commonly used for personal use and are convenient for on-the-go sanitizing. These sizes are highly portable, so they can be carried in pockets or bags, making them ideal for travel, commuting, or running errands. Medium-sized bottles, such as 200ml and 300ml bottles, are often used in workspaces, offices, or personal hygiene kits. Larger-sized bottles, including 500ml-1L bottles, are typically found in shared or high-traffic areas like healthcare facilities, schools, commercial establishments, or public spaces.
What are the differences between Hand Sanitizer with alcohol and chlorhexidine?
Alcohol-based sanitizers are effective against a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Chlorhexidine-based sanitizers offer broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity against many types of bacteria, including both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and certain fungi but are not effective against all types of viruses. Unlike alcohol-based sanitizers, chlorhexidine provides longer-lasting antimicrobial effects as it adheres to the skin and continues to release antimicrobial properties over time.
