OSHA Compliant Hand Sanitizers Released by Mata Global Solutions

(March 06, 2008)-- Mata Global Solutions, which specializes in licensing, manufacturing and marketing innovative products, including Canada’s Soapopular brand, alcohol-free hand sanitizer line, announced that it has introduced Hy-5, a new line of alcohol-free, rinse-free hand sanitizer products that conform to the needs of facilities operating within the health care and food services industry, construction, cruise ship, government, and any other venues that require OSHA and ADA compliant dispensing devices.

Pedro Mata, a spokesperson for Mata Global stated, “Our Hy-5 alcohol-free, rinse free offering is a wonderful complement to our consumer-centric Soapopular brand, which is now available at more than 1000 retail locations, including select Target stores. Hy-5 is also fragrance free and dye free, and has a special formulation for institutional use. The sanitizer formula is packaged in OSHA and ADA-compliant vacuum-sealed, disposable cartridges which insert into a proprietary line of push button and hands free foaming dispenser devices.”

The news media focus on increasing outbreaks of flu, MRSA, hepatitis and other easily transmitted pathogens has led both federal agencies and local public officials to reiterate guidelines for best hand hygiene practices, including recommendations to use appropriate hand sanitizer products when washing with soap and water isn’t readily convenient.

Most experts agree that for alcohol-based hand sanitizer products to be truly effective, hands must first be washed with soap and water. It is also widely acknowledged that alcohol-based products lose their effectiveness immediately after applying, are notorious for causing dry/irritated skin, are infamous for damaging floors and walls, and necessarily pose flammability risks.
