As hand sanitizer continues to be in short supply during the coronavirus pandemic, a number of distillers are working to fill the gaps.
It’s a natural fit for distillers, who already have the legal approval to manufacture products containing alcohol and the technical knowledge of how to produce the needed alcohol base for sanitizer. Some distillers are producing liquid hand sanitizer, while others are providing the alcohol base for gels. In either situation, they can quickly change over to producing the alcohol base while still maintaining their normal production.
