MRSAnator Hand Sanitizer uses a new generation of silicone polymers to serve as its preferred surface application to prevent and inhibit microbial infestation. The value of these new polymers is that they are non-leaching, non-migrating and are environmentally safe.

The primary mode of action is physical and not chemical. This means that after it is applied to your hand it cannot be washed off and will not lose its killing action over the course of 24 hours. Why 24 hours? Your skin exfoliates every three days, thus shedding the protective barrier as well. Microbes are killed by the polymer's surface composition, which acts like a sword that effectively skewers and ruptures the microbe's outer cellular wall.

MRSANATOR Hand Sanitizer is water-stabilized organosilane that provides effective antimicrobial properties on your skin. The active ingredient is AMOSILK, which is the market name for this quaternary ammonium compound ("quat"), more specifically 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyldimethyl octadecyl ammonium chloride added to purified water. Also contains ethyl alcohol and fragrance.

The CDC recommends washing your hands as a prime defense against Flu and other infectious diseases.

• Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Hand sanitizers, such as MRSANATOR Hand Sanitizer are also effective.
• Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
• If you get the flu, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.
