Hand Sanitizer formulation and its effect on calirty of the product.
Hi,
I have tried to make Hand sanitizer formulation listed below
Formulation 1
Ethanol: 75%(99% purity)
Water distilled: 20.9%
Carbopol 940: 0.5%
TEA: 0.1%
Glycerin 3%Mixing order: Water, Carbopol, ethanol, TEA.
The result was carbomer just formed a cloudy gelly lump in the ethanol and as i tried to stir it vigorously most of it is evaporated.I would love to hear some insights on the above-mentioned issue.
Formulation 2
Just changed the ethanol to IPA (99%), mixing procedure is the same and it worked but the product was not so clear in the end. It was a bit clumsy and air bubbles were present.May I know how I can get the crystal clear sanitizer similar to the purell brand? Is something wrong with the formulation or mixing?
