LAKEVILLE, MN – December 1, 2009 – Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are under fire because of misuse by children in schools and other facilities. Curious young children are becoming ill by eating hand sanitizer, and older ones ingest it for the “buzz,” or set it on fire, potentially threatening lives and causing damage. Also, fire, police, EMT and correctional facility personnel forego this important infection control product because of the flammability potential of ethyl alcohol.
Avant Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer was specifically developed to provide a safe, yet effective infection control measure. Bio-based, this revolutionary hand sanitizer does not contain any quaternary compounds (such as benzalkonium chloride), triclosan or chemical fragrances. The product is entirely biodegradable, non-toxic and non-flammable, and contains only the natural scents of spearmint and lime. Avant Alcohol-Free is safe for children and does not pose an ingestion risk. It is also safe for use by fire, police, EMT and correctional facility personnel, and anyone concerned about fire risk. And, Avant Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is ideal for those with sensitive skin who cannot tolerate alcohol’s harshness.
Avant Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is in-vitro efficacy tested to kill 99.99% of pathogens in 15 seconds, including MRSA, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsilla pneumonia and pseudomonas aeruginosa. The active ingredient is CleanWell’s patented formulation of essential plant oils, which includes thymus vulgaris oil (0.05%) derived from the thyme herb. This hand sanitizer also contains aloe to naturally moisturize and maintain the health of skin.
Made from all natural and rapidly renewable resources, Avant Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is also certified cruelty free.
Avant Alcohol-Free Foaming Hand Sanitizer is available in a convenient 18 oz pump bottle, and a metal wall bracket for this bottle is also available. And, for higher traffic areas, the product can be dispensed from an attractive manual pump wall mount dispenser embellished with the Avant logo. The wall mount dispenser is designed to be used with the economical 1000ml Refill Bag.
