The massive outbreak of the flu virus in 2020 has also driven global attention to the health industry. Wet wipes, as a small section within this big section, are also being exposed and accepted by more and more people, especially disinfectant wipes.
In response to the title of the question, as well as before I docked a lot of customers customers raised a variety of issues, do a little organization, for your reference:
1. Disinfectant wipes containing alcohol or non-alcohol good? This issue, depending on the situation.
Alcohol wipes:
Rapid sterilization (a few seconds to sterilize, think about it, think about it, alcohol for a long time are not evaporated it), no residue, safety (but children under 3 years old, it is best not to use, you want to think of an adult with a broken skin or something touching the alcohol is still painful, not to mention that the delicate baby). The concentration of active ingredients to 70% + disinfection effect is optimal. Usage: complete skin OK (you want to disinfect broken skin places, can stand the pain is also OK), tableware cups OK, hard objects surface OK, leather goods not OK, cell phone computer OK.
Non-alcohol sanitizing/sanitary wipes:
Common on the market is the quaternary ammonium wipes (benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride, etc.), this type of composition has been used for a long, long, long time, characterized by long-lasting sterilization, safety, that is, you need to give these ingredients to play a role in the time, in the wet environment they can act for a long time.
Usage: skin OK, hard object surface OK, cell phone computer OK, leather with points not OK, try not to use it. It is worth noting that the above two are not high-level disinfection. And now on the market alcohol wipes brand, some sell very cheap, although playing the 70% 75%, it is very likely to be in the rubbing, say what 75 degrees, 75 alcohol. Want to determine is not 70-75%, look at the back of the wipes of the active ingredient content of this write is how much (this is a health wipes must be standardized a content).
2. Can disinfectant wipes kill viruses?
Alcohol has been proven to be effective against viruses, alcohol was on the bacterial viruses penetration is relatively strong (alcohol can also be used as a penetrant), so the daily protection of viruses with alcohol wipes is the best, fast-acting, effective. Some of the non-alcohol can also do to kill coronavirus, but because of quaternary ammonium salts of the slow onset of their own, and in laboratory conditions to do the virus kill (we have done a, the effective bactericidal ingredients need to be very high content, relatively speaking, stimulation will be greater), it is recommended that the daily protection of the virus or do not use.
3. Sterilization rate of 99.9% – 99.999% is real?
A lot of disinfectant wipes in the packaging has hit the sterilization rate of how many how many, is real, but the turning point came: the state requirements, sanitary wipes sent for inspection only need to do under laboratory conditions for colorectal and Staphylococcus aureus bactericidal ability test can be. Laboratory conditions, you know.
4. Erase rate and sterilization rate?
Sterilization rate: is the active ingredient in the wipes formula against bacteria really have this killing effect, you need to send to a third party to do sterilization rate test. Erase rate: of course, if you label these three words, you need to send them to a third party to do a test, BUT, erase, it’s a verb. You can wipe away germs with a piece of paper, let alone a wet cloth more than dry paper, right?
5. Can disinfectant wipes be carried on an airplane?
No. Alcohol-free wipes can definitely be carried on airplanes. Alcohol-containing wipes can’t be taken on the plane in principle, but I take them with me every time I travel because they’re not liquid after all, and the liquid content is relatively small, so they get through the security check.
