How to prepare disposable disinfectant gel hand sanitizer?
Hand sanitizers are liquids, gels, or foams that are used to eliminate germs, viruses, and more. Different product formulations vary greatly. Use a large number of active ingredients, such as benzalkonium chloride, however, the most effective are usually isopropyl or alcohol-based sanitizing products. The typical alcohol content is 60%- 95%. The dispersion of alcohol and polymer glue has a gelation effect. Although some low-viscosity products are used in foam pumps. The remaining raw materials including skin care products and perfumes as well as some pigments can also be added.

Production Process
One of the critical steps in the fabrication process is the preparation of the gel. Obtaining a dispersion that does not coalesce is necessary to ensure a clear, transparent gel after neutralization. Some formulations include moisturizing ingredients such as surfactants and glycerin to protect the skin and prevent dryness. These may represent a small portion of the overall formulation and the gel mixing system must be able to disperse them evenly and uniformly throughout the product.
Problems in production
The problems that may be encountered in the production of disposable disinfectant gel hand sanitizer are as follows:
- Low-density powders such as carboxy vinyl polymers are difficult to blend into the liquid phase through ordinary agitators. And it may cause dust and air to enter the product. Because air is difficult to remove from the product, keep air ingress to a minimum. Because too much air ingress will have a bad effect on the effect, stability, and even packaging of the product, especially if the packaging is determined by volume rather than weight.
- Ensuring a uniform dispersion effect often requires a long time to disperse, and stratification may occur when in the mixing stage when using conventional mixing equipment, especially where there are multiple stages of different viscosities.
Solution
These problems can be overcome by adopting YeKeey’s high shear vacuum dispersing emulsifier, providing you with a solution that results in a short mixing batch time and can defoam.
First step
Add purified water and carbomer to the emulsification tank. Turn on the emulsifier, and the powder and liquid will quickly pass through the high-shear homogenizer through the high-speed rotating stator and rotor suction.
Second step
The high-speed mechanical force generated by the vacuum dispersing emulsifier allows the multi-phase solid-liquid materials to be strongly dispersed and mixed through the narrow gap between the stator and the rotor.
Third step
The dispersing and stirring of the material can be carried out in a closed vacuum environment so that the whole mixing process can not only ensure contact between the material and the outside world but also ensure that less air enters the product. After the mixing and stirring are completed, defoaming can also be carried out to ensure the quality of the product.
Advantages of vacuum dispersing emulsifier
The use of YeKeey vacuum dispersing emulsifier has many advantages for the production of disinfectant gel and similar products
- High shear mixing ensures rapid incorporation and dispersion which prevents powders from agglomerating, resulting in a scientifically effective solution.
- The mixing and stirring can be carried out in a closed vacuum system environment to eliminate air bubbles.
- Emulsifying mixers can easily blend liquids of different viscosities, eliminating possible layering problems.
- Mixing with an emulsifying mixer ensures that the functional ingredients are evenly dispersed throughout the fluid product, guaranteeing a homogeneous product.
- YeKeey high shear emulsifier can handle high-viscosity formula products.
- Improve batch consistency.
