It has been widely demonstrated that the biocidal activity of ethanol is related to its denaturing effect on proteins. Therefore, it requires the presence of water in the environment. The highest level of disinfectant activity is achieved with a solution of 70% ethanol in water.
Ethanol, at a concentration of 60-80%, is effective against lipophilic viruses, including influenza viruses and herpesviruses (such as HSV), as well as the most hydrophilic viruses, such as adenoviruses, parvoviruses, noroviruses, enteroviruses, rhinoviruses, and rotaviruses. In line with World Health Organisation (WHO) guidelines, the use of alcohol-based disinfectant fluids (min. 60%) is recommended. Our preparations are therefore well placed to assist in combating the SARS-Cov-2 coronavirus outbreak.
