So I just mixed my shitty 62% Ethyl Alcohol hand sanitizer with a bit of my 99% Isopropyl alcohol. Did I improve the germ killing power of my hand sanitizer or did I waste my isopropyl since the hand sanitizer is so diluted? Can I add ammonia based windex to the shitty hand sanitizer to improve germ killing potential? I promise this isn't bait, I just want to make my hand sanitizer less shitty.

No.
>t. CC chemist.

So did I weaken the germ killing power of my already shitty hand sanitizer or is there no net effect?

Also how do I make my hand sanitizer less shitty?

Honestly anon, i too retarded to do the calculations to see what new bonds were created or what molecules are now present. But i don't think you made any change.

Anon chemist who make hand sanitizers have worked on it for years to find the best ration of stomping power and cost effectiveness. The hand sanitizer you're probably using is good enough.

Ive been told that this weaker stuff takes about 5 minutes to kill shit on your hands as opposed to insta kill like higher percent sanitizer.

>>11756347
you improved it with the alcohol, adding windex would reduce its effectiveness

Was it a 1:1 mix? In any case, 70% is the magic number for killing germs. Once you go past 80% it starts to lose efficacy.

definitely not a one to one mix lol

ok so i added a bunch more 99% iso. if anything it should be closer to 70% now and not total shit
