In the fight against COVID-19, hand hygiene has emerged as one of the most effective preventive measures. According to research published by the American Society for Microbiology, the use of 65% ethanol hand sanitizer is more effective than handwashing with water alone in reducing microbial contamination.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends alcohol-based hand sanitizers as a critical tool in infection prevention, particularly when soap and water are not readily available.
Introducing Puritol & Puritol-E
Arbro Pharmaceuticals proudly introduces two specialized hand sanitizer formulations:
Puritol-E (Ethanol-Based)
- Active Ingredient: 70% Ethanol (Ethyl Alcohol)
- Efficacy: Kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria
- Texture: Non-sticky, quick-drying formula
- Application: Rinse-free — no water needed
- Packaging: 200ml bottle
Puritol-E uses ethanol as its active ingredient, which is the WHO’s primary recommended alcohol for hand sanitizer formulations.
Puritol (IPA-Based)
- Active Ingredient: 75% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol)
- Efficacy: Kills 99.99% of germs and bacteria
- Texture: Non-sticky, quick-drying formula
- Application: Rinse-free — no water needed
- Packaging: 200ml bottle
Puritol uses Isopropyl Alcohol, an equally effective antimicrobial agent recommended by WHO guidelines.
Key Features
Both Puritol and Puritol-E share these important characteristics:
- Kills 99.99% of germs including bacteria and viruses
- Rinse-free formula — Use anywhere, anytime
- Non-sticky — Leaves hands feeling clean and dry

When to Use Hand Sanitizer
- Before and after touching your face
- After touching surfaces in public places
- Before eating or preparing food
- After coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose
- When soap and water are not available
The Science Behind Alcohol-Based Sanitizers
Alcohol-based hand sanitizers work by:
- Denaturing proteins on the surface of microorganisms
- Dissolving lipid membranes of enveloped viruses
- Rapid microbial kill within seconds of application
- Broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and many viruses
Research confirms that alcohol concentrations between 60-80% provide optimal antimicrobial efficacy.
Safety Information
- For external use only — Do not ingest
- Keep away from fire — Alcohol-based products are flammable
- Store in cool, dry place — Away from direct sunlight
