- kn100 7y agoDo what I did. eBay isopropyl alcohol and some vegetable glycerin. Should cost you less than 10GBP per litre and mix at a 70/30 ratio.
- mrob 7y ago30% glycerol seems very high. The WHO publishes recipes for hand sanitizers with only 1.45% glycerol by volume: https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf https://www.who.int/gpsc/5may/Guide_to_Local_Production.pdf
- kragen 7y agoGlycerin is not a very good thickening agent for this purpose, but if it's the only one you're using, you're going to need more than 1.45% of it.
- kragen 7y agoManufacturing a hundred thousand 8-ounce bottles of hand sanitizer might be considerably easier than a hundred thousand times as difficult as getting a single one. I mean, have you tried distilling alcohol from fermented mash and mixing it with mucilage?
- xorcist 7y agoGiven the choice between hand sanitizer and soap, always go for the soap. It is more effective against viruses.
- nightfly 7y agoI wash with soap and water wherever I can. I want sanitizer for when I'm getting in the car after leaving stores and stuff.
