Technology Data
Possible applications
Local production of Alcohol base hand rub “AlsoftV” (introduction of mass production equipment)
Our specially formulated Alsoft V is a quick-drying disinfectant effective against alcohol-resistant viruses. It is also effective against Ebola and corona viruses. In addition, since it meets the requirements of WHO recommended prescription, it can be used suitably in developing countries.
Intervention by hygiene instructor:
In accordance with the WHO campaign in order to eradicate nosocomial infections using alcohol based hand sanitizers, the education and enlightenment on hand hygiene should be carried out correctly. Monitoring and feedback should be provided to promote appropriate hand hygiene to healthcare workers and results to the capacity building in developing countries.
Competitive advantage
Mass production equipment:
Under the supervision of our subsidiary in China, we selected a model with excellent reliability and great cost balance.
Hygiene instructors:
We have achieved a lot overseas, mainly in Asia but at the moment, we cannot find any competitors who also has hygiene instructor team as we do.
Container/Material:
To reduce the amount of plastic used in the distribution stage, we will propose large containers (20L) then have the costumers refilling to a 1L pump container. Furthermore, the 20L polyethylene bottle was changed to a Bag In Box type (thin-walled container + cardboard) container.
