@Deleted User of course, please watch🙏🏼❤

Without having researched this thoroughly, I believe the guy in the above video is wrong.

The 70% IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol) is not just the name of the ingredient; it is a reflection that the contents of that bottle is 70% IPA.

2020-03-19 06:09:48 UTC  

Per the CDC:
> Once alcohol concentrations drop below 50%, usefulness for disinfection drops sharply.

2020-03-19 06:10:26 UTC  

The guy in the video says repeatedly that, _"it's not a portion size"_.

2020-03-19 06:10:30 UTC  

He is dead wrong.

2020-03-19 06:10:33 UTC  

It is a portion size.

2020-03-19 06:11:21 UTC  

By his logic, what amount of 70% IPA needs to be added, in order for his homemade hand sanitizer to be effective at killing the virus?

2020-03-19 06:13:41 UTC  

so your saying IPA and Lotion wont work?

2020-03-19 06:14:10 UTC  

He claims that 4 to 5 portions of the non-IPA ingredient are needed, plus 1 portion of 70% IPA.

2020-03-19 06:15:06 UTC  

at 4 portions non-IPA ingredients, plus 1 portion 70% IPA, he created 14% IPA hand sanitizer.

2020-03-19 06:15:50 UTC  

at 5 portions of non-IPA ingredients, plus 1 portion of 70% IPA, he created 12% IPA hand sanitizer.

2020-03-19 06:16:44 UTC  

It is clear to me that in order for a hand sanitizer to neutralize coronavirus, it must be at LEAST 60% IPA.

2020-03-19 06:17:10 UTC  

This is why 70% IPA bottles are commonly found at all grocery stores, pharmacies, and the likes.

2020-03-19 06:17:11 UTC  

what about rubbing alcohol?

2020-03-19 06:17:48 UTC  

@Deleted User should weigh in on this, too

2020-03-19 06:18:19 UTC  

im asking serious questions here would rubbing alcholol and lotion work?

2020-03-19 06:18:23 UTC  

@Lil Brit
> Rubbing alcohol refers to either isopropyl alcohol or ethanol based liquids, or the comparable British Pharmacopoeia defined surgical spirit, with isopropyl alcohol products being the most widely available.

2020-03-19 06:18:33 UTC  

that's about all I know about rubbing alcohol

2020-03-19 06:18:42 UTC  

I suppose that it, too, should have a percentage on the bottle.

2020-03-19 06:19:01 UTC  

usually, the lowest number you'll see, percentage-wise, is 70%.

2020-03-19 06:19:18 UTC  

You'll have to research this deeper.

2020-03-19 06:19:24 UTC  

As will I.

2020-03-19 06:19:37 UTC  

Because I believe the guy in the video is 100% wrong.

2020-03-19 06:19:51 UTC  

70% IPA is not a brand

2020-03-19 06:19:56 UTC  

it's a description of the contents

2020-03-19 06:20:07 UTC  

ahh ok my mother brought some rubbing alcholol (which hasnt even come) and was wonderinf that would have worked

2020-03-19 06:20:21 UTC  

if you take one bottle of 70% IPA and mix it with an equal amount of water, then you have just created 35% IPA

2020-03-19 06:20:40 UTC  

which is ineffective at neutralizing viruses

2020-03-19 06:21:07 UTC  

@Lil Brit my guess is that what your mother bought is most likely at least 70%

2020-03-19 06:21:24 UTC  

i dont know i know for a fact it was over 60% i presume

2020-03-19 06:21:46 UTC  

I'm sure it's good stuff

2020-03-19 06:22:01 UTC  

Again, I could be wrong about this

2020-03-19 06:22:10 UTC  

But I need to look into it further.

2020-03-19 06:22:16 UTC  

she is using it to make hand santizer for when we go out you get me

2020-03-19 06:22:25 UTC  

yep
