Pro-Tex Alcohol Free Foam Hand & Skin Sanitiser Questions & Answers
- What is Pro-Tex Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand & Skin Sanitiser?
Pro-Tex Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand & Skin Sanitiser, based on the active ingredient Benzalkonium Chloride, is a unique, patented formulation featuring exceptional skin feel, conditioning and moisturizing properties.
The efficacy of this product has been confirmed to reduce S. aureus 99.999% in as little as 15 seconds. Because Pro-Tex does not use ethyl alcohol; it is non-flammable and non-drying to the skin. In addition, unlike alcohol-based products, Pro-Tex does not require polymers or thickeners and as a result you skin does not feel sticky and your pores do not become clogged.
Pro-Tex Foaming Hand & Skin Sanitiser is in compliance with the FDA Final Tentative Monograph for OTC Hand Sanitizer preparations (leave-on sanitizers not requiring a rinse). Pro-Tex is NSF registered and approved under Category E3 for Food Handlers and is effective on MRSA & CA-MRSA.
- Why Benzalkonium Chloride-based Hand Sanitisers?
Benzalkonium chloride-based Hand Sanitisers have distinct advantages over alcohol hand sanitiser gels.
While both product forms are FDA Monograph for "leave on" products, fast acting and allow for use without water or towels, Benzalkonium chloride based products are non-flammable, less drying to skin, and will not stain clothing.
Published studies report that gelled alcohol gel hand sanitisers actually make the skin more contaminated, not cleaner, due to removal of protective natural skin oils and entrapment of dead skin cells by the polymer thickeners used in the gelled alcohol products.
Benzalkonium chloride is a quaternary active ingredient with a history of use in leave-on, FDA Monograph anti-bacterial skin treatment products. Leave-on Hand Sanitisers should not be used as a substitute for proper hand washing and hygiene practices.
- What makes Pro-Tex unique?
The patented Pro-Tex Foam Hand & Skin Sanitiser produces a fast drying, non-sticky foam that contains unique conditioning and moisturizing ingredients, leaves the skin with a soft, silky after-feel, and does not contain polymer thickeners or silicones.
- What are the effects of long-term repeated use?
In published studies, Benzalkonium chloride based Hand Sanitisers outperform alcohol-based products for long-term effectiveness. Alcohol-based products evaporate very quickly and are no longer effective after they are dry. Benzalkonium chloride remains active on the surface of the skin, continuing to kill bacteria for hours. Pro-Tex actually gets better with repeated use!
- How effective is Pro-Tex Foaming Hand & Skin Sanitiser
Pro-Tex is very effective against a broad range of pathogenic bacteria in as little as 15 seconds as the Chlorine Equivalency and Time Kill Data illustrate.
Chlorine Equivalency Test
The object of this test is to determine the available chlorine germicidal equivalent concentration of the product as compared to the 200, 100 and 50 ppm available chlorine in the NaOCl standard controls.
Initial suspension Population
Staphylococcus aureus ATCC #6538 7.6 X 108 CFU/ml
Salmonella typhi ATCC #6539 1.2 X 108 CFU/ml
Efficacy Results
Pro-Tex Foam Hand & Skin Sanitiser demonstrated an available chlorine equivalent to greated than the 200 ppm NaOCl standard control when tested against S. aureus and Salmonella typhi.
- Don's hand sanitisers increase the likelihood of antibiotic resistance?
Pro-tex Foam Hand & Skin Sanitiser is a bread spectrum sanitiser with efficacy proven across a wide range of bacteria. Unlike antibiotics, topical sanitisers do not attempt to selectively eliminate only certain bacteria. This is very important as most of the medical community today believe that the recent proliferation of the 'super bugs' and the anti-biotic resistant strains of bacteria are directly a result of this attempt to be selective in the elimination of some bacteria, while sparing others. Pro-Tex is designed to eliminate all bacteria on the skin. While some useful or harmless bacteria may be removed, this is essential in preventing mutations onto 'super bugs'.
