There are three main types of wet wipes on the market:
1. Ordinary wipes
It only has a cleaning effect, and does not have antibacterial, bacteriostatic, sterilizing and disinfecting effects.
2. Sanitary wipes
It is made by adding production water, appropriate amount of anti/bacteriostatic and disinfectant liquid as the carrier of non-woven fabrics, etc., and has both cleaning, anti/bacteriostatic and bactericidal effects. The anti/bacteriostatic and bactericidal functions of sanitary wipes depend on the effective bactericidal ingredients added. Common effective bactericidal ingredients include chlorhexidine gluconate, benzalkonium bromide, benzethonium chloride, ε-polylysine, polyhexa Methyleneguanidine etc. In the production of sanitary wipes, some companies also choose alcohol as one of the bactericides, but because alcohol has a stimulating effect on the skin, it is generally used in a low concentration, and it is often compatible with other bactericidal ingredients to baby wipes suppliers play a synergistic effect. GB 15979-2002 "Sanitary Standard for Disposable Sanitary Products" stipulates that the killing rate of sanitary wipes against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus must be ≥90%, and the shelf life should be at least one year.
The production of the above two types of products needs to apply for a "sanitary license for disinfection product manufacturing enterprises, label the production item as "sanitary products", and the production category as "wet wipes or/and sanitary wipes", and the product label must be marked with the hygiene license number.

About 75% Alcohol Wipes
The etiological characteristics of coronavirus are that it is sensitive to ultraviolet light and heat. At 56°C for 30 minutes, ether, 75% ethanol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peracetic acid and chloroform and other lipid solvents can effectively inactivate the virus, but chlorhexidine cannot effectively inactivate the virus. live virus. Therefore, in the past two years, a product called "75% alcohol (ethanol) wipes" has been prevalent on the market. Because its ethanol concentration is equivalent to a unilateral 75% ethanol disinfectant, it should be identified as disinfectant wipes, which is different from the alcohol commonly used in clinical practice. Cotton balls or medical cotton swabs dipped in 75% alcohol disinfectant have the same effect.
