This advanced alcohol-based formula will clean hands. This clear-in-hand sanitizer gel provides a silky hand feel during application due to the presence of Klucel™ hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) with Ceraphyl™ 31 ester.

Procedure

1. Prepare phase A by adding Klucel™ HPC to ethanol under good agitation to make a slurry.
2. Mix phase A for about 5 minutes or until all HPC is wetted and polymer is not floating on the surface of the ethanol
3. Add water (phase B) while mixing and continue mixing
4. Mix for about 45 minutes or until solution is smooth and lump-free.
5. Adjust mixing speed so that solution “turns-over”
6. Add phase C ingredients while mixing.
