Palampur, March 18
The CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT) has developed a hand sanitiser that contains natural flavours, active tea constituents and alcohol content as per WHO guidelines. The product is free from parabens, triclosan, synthetic fragrance and phthalates.
The technology will be transferred to a private unit through an agreement between the institute and M/s AB Scientific Solutions. As per the agreement, the institute will transfer its expertise for making hand sanitisers and other disinfectants to the company.
The firm, that has a strong marketing network, will establish a facility at Palampur and market hand sanitisers and other disinfectants in all major cities across the country. The development of the sanitiser is timely considering the current rise in the demand of a genuine product for preventive measures against the Covid.
