Manufacturers of hand sanitizers and hard-surface disinfectants using technical-grade ethanol
These companies have been granted temporary authorization by Health Canada to manufacture and sell the specific hand sanitizers and/or hard-surface disinfectants listed below, which may contain technical-grade ethanol. Sale or distribution of a product containing technical grade ethanol by an unauthorized manufacturer (not on this list) is not permitted and may be subject to enforcement action. Approved technical-grade ethanol may be used in the production of hand sanitizers or hard-surface disinfectants.
Products on this list do not necessarily contain technical-grade ethanol. Manufacturers may continue to produce the hand sanitizer or hard-surface disinfectants using food or pharmaceutical grade ethanol, switching to technical-grade only when higher quality grades are unavailable.
No hand sanitizer or hard-surface disinfectant containing technical-grade ethanol may be produced or distributed prior to receiving Health Canada's approval. A No Objection Letter will be issued once the requested information has been reviewed and approved, at which time the production and distribution of the product may commence.
A number of companies have expressed interest in distributing technical-grade ethanol for use in hand sanitizers. Health Canada has developed a process to assess distributors of technical grade ethanol . Authorizations are granted to companies by way of a No Objection Letter once they have fulfilled specific requirements and respected a number of conditions.
The companies listed are not suppliers of technical-grade ethanol or distributors of technical-grade ethanol. Manufacturers who purchase any of the listed products from these suppliers or from authorized distributors for use in the production of hand sanitizers and/or hard-surface disinfectants must not re-sell or blend the approved technical-grade ethanol.
The best way to identify whether a hand sanitizer or a hard-surface disinfectant contains technical-grade ethanol is to refer to the product label.
Hand sanitizers or hard-surface disinfectants made with technical-grade ethanol can be identified with the following on their labels:
- under Medicinal Ingredients: "Ethanol XX% (technical grade)"
- under Warnings and Directions:
- "Adults only"
- "Do not use on broken or damaged skin"
- "Not recommended for use by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding"
- "Do not inhale"
