He claims that 4 to 5 portions of the non-IPA ingredient are needed, plus 1 portion of 70% IPA.
at 4 portions non-IPA ingredients, plus 1 portion 70% IPA, he created 14% IPA hand sanitizer.
at 5 portions of non-IPA ingredients, plus 1 portion of 70% IPA, he created 12% IPA hand sanitizer.
It is clear to me that in order for a hand sanitizer to neutralize coronavirus, it must be at LEAST 60% IPA.
This is why 70% IPA bottles are commonly found at all grocery stores, pharmacies, and the likes.
what about rubbing alcohol?
@Deleted User should weigh in on this, too
im asking serious questions here would rubbing alcholol and lotion work?
@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.
that's about all I know about rubbing alcohol
I suppose that it, too, should have a percentage on the bottle.
usually, the lowest number you'll see, percentage-wise, is 70%.
You'll have to research this deeper.
As will I.
Because I believe the guy in the video is 100% wrong.
70% IPA is not a brand
it's a description of the contents
ahh ok my mother brought some rubbing alcholol (which hasnt even come) and was wonderinf that would have worked
if you take one bottle of 70% IPA and mix it with an equal amount of water, then you have just created 35% IPA
which is ineffective at neutralizing viruses
i dont know i know for a fact it was over 60% i presume
I'm sure it's good stuff
Again, I could be wrong about this
But I need to look into it further.
she is using it to make hand santizer for when we go out you get me
yep
heck if im staying indoors i actually have a likely chance of not catching it
the only risk is my mother going shopping and catching it
I'm reading that now
literally i could be the only one in my college to not catch it purely because i aint gunna be there until it all blows over
lol
true
> If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol.

> Why? Many studies have found that sanitizers with an alcohol concentration between 60–95% are more effective at killing germs than those with a lower alcohol concentration or non-alcohol-based hand sanitizers 16,20. Hand sanitizers without 60-95% alcohol 1) may not work equally well for many types of germs; and 2) merely reduce the growth of germs rather than kill them outright.
They don't specify viruses, only germs.
Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now.
