Dose 75% alcohol wipes kill the Omicron?
Recently, As the outbreak of the Omicron , everyone has a certain understanding of the Omicron.
Omicron. Knowing the physical and chemical characteristics of the virus, sensitive to ultraviolet rays and heat,
56 ° C for 30 minutes, 100° C in one mintue, ether, 75% alcohol, Isopropyl alcohol, chlorine-containing disinfectant, peracetic acid and chloroform, and other fatty solvents Both can effectively inactivate the conronavirus, chlorhexidine cannot effectively inactivate the coronavirus.
The answer is obvious to tell, Yes. the 75% alcohol wipes do effective kill the Omicron.
The theory was approved here after the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak in Wuhan China.
The 70% or 75% alcohol solution effectively inactivating the coronavirus in minutes, the reason is that the Isopropyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol which is organic solvent, the alcohol could destroy the bacteria and virus. Details as below.
Mechanism of alcohol antivirus
Today, Daxin Technology will explain you how our alcohol wipes kill the virus.
Medical alcohol is a mixed solution of ethanol and water. It is medically proven that when the concentration of ethanol is 75%, the disinfection effect is the best, it can kill a variety of bacteria and viruses, and it can also effectively kill the new coronavirus. Medical alcohol can be used for disinfection of the human body and any sufrace you may touch, medical device, The main purpose is to disinfect and sterilize. And our alcohol wipes are saturated in 75% alcohol solution which make the wet wipes have strong disinfection and sterilize feature.
How the alcohol affect and inactivate the Omicron?
1 Coronavirus itself is a fat-soluble virus. Ethanol can dissolve lipids in the structure of the virus to destroy its functionality and make its pathogenicity disappear.
2 For protein structure
(1) The process of protein secondary structure will form hydrogen bonds. Under the effect of competition, the hydroxyl groups on ethanol molecules will destroy the original hydrogen bonds and cause the destruction of protein structure.
(2) The protein itself is charged, and the charge on the surface with the hydration layer will offset it, so that it will remain electrically neutral. The water absorption of ethanol alcohol will destroy the hydration layer, causing the overall protein to be charged, and the positive and negative charges attract each other. Cause accumulation.
The destruction of protein will affect its pathogenicity. For the problem of concentration,
the widespread view is that too high permeability will cause bacteria and viruses to quickly form a dense protein shell, ethanol cannot penetrate into the interior and destroy chromosomes
(genetic material pairing also depends on hydrogen bonding), and too low a killing effect will reduce In practice, it is found that about 70%-75% alcohol is the best.
