What makes Chemtex Alstasan Hand Rub one of the top hand sanitizer brands

 

Substantial use of alcohol-based hand sanitizer on hands in recent months has become more counterproductive with manufacturers adding just about anything to make it to the top shelves. Little do we know the harmful additions to alcohol which reach our hands over and over.

WHO recommends the use of hand sanitizers with at least 60% Ethanol or Isopropanol for an effective germ kill. But is the one on your hands having the right additive mix?

The demand for hand sanitizers has grown up by a healthy 85% in India today if compared to December 2019 with almost three-fifth demand fulfilled. Since the manufacturing process is rather simple, we saw the emergence of mushroom companies which may get the 60% alcohol content hand sanitizer right, but not the other 40%.

The ‘No’ that need to be addressed:

  • Wood alcohol or Methanol is toxic when absorbed through skin. It usually smells bad, dur to addition of methanol, acetonic or other harmful chemicals
  • Denatured Alcohol, as they contain benzene a known human carcinogen and should not be consumed or even handled with bare hands
  • Addition of antimicrobial Quaternary Ammonium Compounds like Benzalkonium Chloride to reduce the actual alcohol content, minimizing product cost are inadequate against pathogens
  • For thicker and luxuriant formulation, manufacturers use carbomers or acrylates which reduce the alcohol efficacy is essentially liquid plastic
  • Addition of thickening agents such as glycerin are known to lower the potential of ethanol
  • Colourful hand sanitizers are nice to see but are all the colours used even permissible or not. All that glitters is not gold!

The Gel Vs. Liquid Race

Gel based sanitizers are viscous and do not flow easily. Moreover, it takes near about 30 – 40 seconds to act against germs present on our hands. With the average being 0.125 – 0.45 microns big, can easily live between our microscopic skin cracks, whereas the smallest gel-based particle is of 3.5 microns, and ergo the gel cannot reach.

H2S – A Silent Ultimatum to Oilfields

H 2 S Scavenger Chemical – Introduction The world has witnessed a substantial increase in E&P of crude oil to meet the need for globalization, leading to drilling of ‘deemed undesirable’ sites, owing to the presence of higher concentration of acidic gases like hydrogen sulphide, carbon dioxide, etc. These hazardous gases require proper measures before disposal or scavenging. Of these, Hydrogen sulphide/ H 2 S is the most threatening one, especially in confined or ill ventilated places. The characteristic rotten egg smell makes H 2 S recognition easy even at lower concentrations. Hydrogen Sulphide is toxic, acidic and extremely corrosive at higher concentrations. Heavier than air, it is found more near base level of the working sites. Then comes its inflammability, which may cause explosive reaction with air molecules. With peroxides, ammonia and other oxidizing chemicals, H 2 S often goes through combustible reactions, ...

Boiler Water Antiscalant or sludge conditioner are chemical compounds that inhibit or prevent scale formation in the boiler tubes

In many industries there are huge requirement for boiler towers. Water passes to these towers through boiler tubes mainly. These tubes requires high maintenance   on a regular basis.As an adverse effect magnesium,silica salts deposits on the surface,iron deposits & magnesium salts also harm the boiler tubes to a great extent. So Boiler Antiscalants or sludge conditioners are used which helps users that inhibit or prevent scale formation in the boiler tubes by means of sequestering calcium and magnesium salts, dispersing silica, chelating iron and breaking-up colloidal deposits like clay and silt that are otherwise gets deposited into the boiler tubes. Chemtex manufactures these chemical compounds which are equivalent or better than:- Maxtreat 3001 / 3220 / 3221, Indion 2570 / 2571 etc.. It owes its application to mainly b oilers . The major benefits related to these compounds are:- ·         ...
