Deerfield Beach, Florida Bulk Sanitizer Disposal, Recycling and Ethanol Recover Services

Leading Deerfield Beach Transporter for Bulk, Out-of-date Alcohol Based Sanitizer Gels and Liquids

A large portion of the hand-sanitizing liquids available today are gels that are 60-95% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol–classifying them as Class 3 Flammable Liquids.

Large quantities of hand sanitizers cannot be stored in Deerfield Beach office buildings, per OSHA regulations and any quantities of more than 25 gallons must be properly stored in flammable-liquid storage containers.

Hand Sanitizers Containing Methanol or 1-Propanol

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has fined quite a few companies and manufacturering companies for producing and selling hand sanitizers that have the following ingredientsmethanol or 1-propanol, both of which are toxic to human health and neither were approved for hand-washing by the EPA:

• Ethanol found in spirits used for consumption, methanol commonly used to manufacture fuels, solvents and antifreeze. Referred to as “wood alcohol” or “methyl alcohol”, methanol is colorless, highly ignitable and very poisonous if consumed.
• Used in industry, some cosmetics and antiseptics, 1-Propanol is used as a multi-purpose solvent. It’s highly ignitable, harmful when consumed and can damage your eyes. Respiratory irritation and central nervous system issues can result from inhalation.

The recalled sanitizers listed here were falsely labeled as containing only ethyl alcohol.
