Hydrite Chemical Co. (Brookfield, Wis.; www.hydrite.com), an integrated manufacturer and supplier of chemicals and related services, is donating a specially formulated hand sanitizer to support hospitals, healthcare workers and facilities, and food banks in local communities as they respond to the COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) global pandemic.
HYDRI-SAN 3C Hand Sanitizer is specially formulated according to the World Health Organization’s and Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines issued during the COVID-19 public health crisis. Hydri-San 3C Hand Sanitizer is an extremely effective hand sanitizer designed to combat COVID-19 and is effective at reducing bacteria on skin that could potentially cause disease, the company says. Hydri-San 3C does not require hands to be rinsed with water after use and contains a moisturizer to prevent drying of hands. It is appropriate for use in health care facilities, food processing facilities, industrial settings, and for general consumer use. The low viscosity formulation allows for a variety of applications, including spray applications.
Kevin Honkamp, Hydrite Chemical Co. President, commented, “As an organization with a mission statement that focuses around integrity and people, it’s a priority for us to contribute efforts towards fighting this global pandemic. Our thoughts are with those suffering from COVID-19 and with all the essential workers who are helping in this battle. As a company, we have taken this step to donate the Hydri-San 3C hand sanitizer as a response to efforts in preventing the further spread of COVID-19.”
