DIOXEL ANTIBACTERIAL AND ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION FOR HANDS

Dioxel Antibacterial Solution — Hand Antiseptic (Chlorhexidine + 70% Alcohol)

At Quimiconsult we manufacture Dioxel Antibacterial Solution, a liquid hand-hygiene antiseptic formulated with 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate and 70% ethyl alcohol. This combination gives it an irreplaceable dual action: the 70% alcohol acts immediately to eliminate microorganisms on the skin, while the chlorhexidine provides a persistent effect that lasts for hours —an advantage over alcohol-only antiseptics, whose action ends as soon as they evaporate. Dioxel sanitizes hands without drying the skin, leaves a pleasant feel and has a characteristic alcohol fragrance.

Dioxel is a colorless, clear, fast-absorbing hydroalcoholic solution with a pH of 7.5 to 8.5 and a density of 0.80 to 0.90 g/mL. Its formula destroys the bacterial cell wall —exposing the cytoplasm and inhibiting cellular activity in less than 30 seconds— and also acts on lipid-enveloped viruses, destroying their protective capsule and deactivating their genetic material. Thanks to its fast action, residual effect and gentleness on the skin, Dioxel is ideal for hand hygiene in clinical, industrial and household settings.

As a direct manufacturer based in San Nicolás de los Garza, Nuevo León, we offer Dioxel Antibacterial Solution with nationwide coverage, a technical data sheet (TDS) and support. For anyone looking for a hand antibacterial, a hand antiseptic, a hydroalcoholic solution with chlorhexidine or a long-lasting hand sanitizer, Dioxel is the choice in the Quimiconsult catalog.

What is Dioxel and why does it combine chlorhexidine with alcohol?

Dioxel Antibacterial Solution is a dual-active hand antiseptic:

• 70% ethyl alcohol — the concentration at which ethanol is most germicidal. It acts immediately, denaturing the proteins of microorganisms and eliminating bacteria and lipid-enveloped viruses within seconds. Its action is fast but not persistent: it ends when the alcohol evaporates.
• 0.5% chlorhexidine gluconate — an antiseptic that adheres to the skin and maintains its antimicrobial activity for hours after application, providing the residual/persistent effect that alcohol alone lacks.

The combination of the two is what sets Dioxel apart: immediate action + persistent effect, covering both the moment of application and the hours that follow, in a formulation that does not dry the skin (unlike many gels and solutions that contain only alcohol).

How does Dioxel work? Antimicrobial mechanism

On bacteria. Dioxel destroys the bacterial cell wall, exposing the cytoplasm and inhibiting cellular activity in less than 30 seconds. The 70% alcohol denatures proteins immediately, and the chlorhexidine prolongs the antibacterial action on the skin.

On viruses. Against lipid-enveloped viruses, the formula destroys the protective capsule, exposing the nucleic acids and deactivating the infective part.

Persistent effect. After the alcohol evaporates, the chlorhexidine remains bound to the skin, maintaining a residual effect for hours that reduces microbial recolonization between washes.

Applications of Dioxel Antibacterial Solution

Clinical and healthcare settings

Hand hygiene and antisepsis for staff in doctors' offices, clinics, laboratories and care areas, where the persistent effect of chlorhexidine is especially valued between procedures.

Industrial and food settings

Hand hygiene for staff in plants, offices, industrial cafeterias, process areas and access points, as part of hygiene protocols and good practices.

Commercial, institutional and household settings

Hand hygiene in stores, schools, offices, transportation and the home, at hygiene stations or dispensers, for frequent everyday use without drying the skin.

Directions for use

1. Apply a moderate amount of Dioxel Antibacterial Solution to the hands.
2. Rub the hands together and between the fingers.
3. Make sure to wet the nails, the palms and between the fingers.
4. Allow to dry; no rinsing required.

For effective hygiene, cover the entire surface of the hands and keep in contact until dry. For external use only; do not ingest.

Advantages of Dioxel over an alcohol-only antibacterial

• Dual action: fast (70% alcohol) plus persistent for hours (0.5% chlorhexidine), versus alcohol alone, which stops working once it evaporates.
• Does not dry the skin: a formulation designed for frequent use, with a pleasant feel.
• Broad spectrum: acts on bacteria and on lipid-enveloped viruses.
• Fast action: inhibits bacterial cellular activity in less than 30 seconds.
• No rinsing: practical for hygiene stations and on-the-go use.

Safety, handling and storage

Dioxel Antibacterial Solution is an external-use product for hand hygiene. It contains 70% ethyl alcohol and is therefore a flammable liquid: keep away from heat, sparks and flames, do not smoke while using it and store in a cool, ventilated place away from ignition sources.

Precautions for use: for external use on the skin of the hands only; avoid contact with the eyes (in case of contact, rinse with plenty of water); do not ingest; keep out of the reach of children; do not apply to open wounds or irritated skin. If irritation or a reaction occurs, discontinue use. See the product documentation for complete handling instructions and precautions.

Storage: in the original closed container, in a cool, dry and ventilated place, protected from direct sunlight and heat, away from ignition sources.
