AMPAC USA on the Rise in Growth of Sanitizer Manufacturing and the Role of RO Water

CALIFORNIA CITY, Calif., May 13, 2020 (Newswire.com) - The COVID-19 crisis has forced people to be more hygiene-oriented. As a result, the hand sanitization industry is growing. RO water plays a crucial role in the manufacturing of sanitizers. AMPAC USA believes that the rise in demand for hand sanitizers, which will continue for a while, will also boost the demand for pure water and its industrial reverse osmosis systems or commercial reverse osmosis systems.

Stats Regarding Sanitizer Manufacturing

• The size of the global hand sanitizer market was USD 2.7 billion in 2019.
• About 77% population was in favor of using hand sanitizers.
• About 37.5% were male users, and 62.5% were female users.
• The demand for sanitizers has shot up considerably and would increase more in the future.

The Recommendations

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends using hand sanitizers with 60% alcohol. WHO has recommended two formulations. The first one includes ethanol 96%: 8333 ml, glycerol 98%: 145 ml, hydrogen peroxide 3%: 417 ml and some pure water. The second includes Isopropyl Alcohol, 99.8%: 7515 ml, Glycerol 98%: 145 ml, Hydrogen Peroxide 3%: 417 ml and some pure water. Though the WHO allows the use of distilled water, AMPAC USA believes that RO water should be used in the formulation process to ensure better results.
