AFAK Ethyl Alcohol 70% Spray — 1 Liter

Product Category: Antiseptic and Disinfectant Solution

Product Description

AFAK Ethyl Alcohol 70% Spray is an alcohol-based antiseptic and disinfectant intended for appropriate disinfection of compatible surfaces and other uses specified on the product label. Ethyl alcohol at a 70% concentration is widely used in disinfection because it can help inactivate many types of microorganisms when applied correctly.

The convenient spray format allows easy application, while the 1-liter container provides a practical quantity for routine use in suitable healthcare, workplace, and household settings, subject to the manufacturer's instructions.

Indications and Uses

• Surface disinfection: Helps disinfect compatible, non-porous surfaces.
• Infection control: Supports hygiene practices when used according to approved product instructions.
• Healthcare and workplace hygiene: May be suitable for designated disinfection tasks, depending on the product's approved uses.
• General disinfection: For appropriate applications specified on the product label.

Important: Do not assume that this product is approved for hand antisepsis, wound cleaning, or use on medical devices unless the label specifically permits these applications.

Mechanism of Action

Ethyl alcohol acts primarily by denaturing proteins and disrupting lipid membranes, contributing to its antimicrobial activity against many vegetative bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses. However, it does not reliably destroy bacterial spores, and its effectiveness varies among microorganisms.

Directions for Use

• Use only on surfaces and for applications approved by the product label.
• Follow the manufacturer's recommended application method and contact time.
• Allow the treated surface to remain wet for the required contact time, where applicable.
• Do not spray toward people, inhale the mist, or use in poorly ventilated areas.

Warnings and Precautions

• Highly flammable: Keep away from flames, sparks, heat, and other ignition sources.
• For external use only; do not swallow.
• Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes.
• Do not apply to wounds or irritated skin unless specifically directed by the product label.
• Keep out of reach of children.
• Avoid prolonged or repeated exposure to the vapors and ensure adequate ventilation.
• Check material compatibility before use, as alcohol may damage certain plastics, rubber, coatings, and adhesives.

Storage

Store tightly closed in its original, properly labelled container in a cool, well-ventilated place, away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, and ignition sources.
