The generous 5-litre container is suited to workplaces and facilities with regular hand sanitiser usage. It provides a convenient way to replenish compatible dispensers, helping maintain access to hand hygiene facilities throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions About SOS Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel

Does SOS Alcohol Hand Sanitiser Gel kill 99.99% of bacteria and viruses?

The supplied product specification states a 99.99% efficacy claim. The effectiveness of a hand sanitiser depends on the microorganisms tested, the test method, the contact time and correct use. Refer to the product's supporting test documentation for the precise scope of this claim.

Is this hand sanitiser effective against COVID-19?

Alcohol-based hand sanitisers can be effective against enveloped viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, when appropriately formulated and used correctly. Confirm the product-specific claim against the manufacturer's supporting efficacy documentation before relying on a COVID-19 claim in commercial marketing.

What does 71% alcohol mean?

It indicates that the product contains 71% alcohol according to its stated formulation. The basis of this percentage, such as volume or weight, should be confirmed from the manufacturer's technical documentation if required.

What are EN 1500, EN 1276 and EN 1040?

These European standards relate to different antimicrobial testing applications:

  • EN 1500: Hygienic hand disinfection.
  • EN 1276: Quantitative suspension testing for bactericidal activity in specified areas, including food, industrial, domestic and institutional settings.
  • EN 1040: A quantitative suspension test for evaluating the basic bactericidal activity of chemical disinfectants and antiseptics.

Testing to these standards does not automatically establish efficacy against every bacterium or virus in every application.

Is the 5-litre hand sanitiser ready to use?

Yes. According to the supplied specification, the gel is ready to use and does not require dilution. Follow the manufacturer's directions for application.

Can the 5-litre container be used to refill hand sanitiser dispensers?

It is intended as a refill format, but compatibility depends on the dispenser and its specified refill system. Check that your dispenser is suitable for the product's gel formulation before refilling.

Is this hand sanitiser suitable for workplaces?

It may be suitable for many commercial and workplace hand hygiene applications. Always check the product label, safety information and any specific requirements applying to your industry.

Can hand sanitiser replace washing hands with soap and water?
