Specifications for Virafoam Refill - 70% Alcohol Foaming Hand Sanitiser | For Manual-Push Dispenser
"More bubbles, less troubles"
The Virafoam Foaming Hand Sanitiser Refill is a hygienically sealed pod that goes into a heavy-duty manual push-button hand sanitiser dispenser. It was created for your facility’s hygiene and disease prevention program and it is particularly good for wet areas, busy places, or areas where you don't want to be topping up your hand sanitisers regularly. Virafoam is a premium quality, waterless hand sanitiser designed specifically to reduce the spread of germs and bacteria. Virafoam is 70% alcohol-based and contains natural emollients to replenish the lipids in your skin, leaving your hands feeling soft and hygienically clean.
Virafoam is pH balanced with a non-irritant moisturising formula and is great for keeping your skin clean, hygienic and at its best. The advanced formulation makes it a great choice for regular usage and for those with sensitive and dry skin. The smart foaming action reduces usage, reduces mess, and more importantly, eliminates the risk of eye injuries associated with normal liquid and spray-style hand sanitisers.
