PURELL non-alcohol formulation 5784-04 SF607 hand sanitizer, 18 oz./535 mL pump bottle, is an antimicrobial foam with benzalkonium chloride (BAK) to help reduce the number of germs on hands. The pump bottle dispenses small amounts of foam at a time. This hand sanitizer is free of alcohol, fragrances, and dyes, and is compatible with latex, nitrile, and vinyl gloves to help reduce the risk of glove degradation. It comes in a pack of four pump bottles.

Hand sanitizers (also called hand antiseptics) are liquids, gels, or foams that help reduce the number of germs on hands when a small amount is rubbed into the skin; no rinsing with water or drying with towels is needed. Hand sanitizers can quickly reduce the number of germs on hands, but do not eliminate every kind of pathogenic microorganism. Hand sanitizers are not as effective when hands are visibly dirty. They are available in a range of sizes, from small bottles for personal use to large mounted dispensers for public or institutional use. They are also available as wipes: small, disposable paper or nonwoven towels soaked in a hand sanitizer liquid. Hand sanitizers are typically part of hand hygiene programs at health care and food processing facilities, where pathogenic microorganisms are common.
