FAQ

Why Hermetics Australia? What are the primary advantages of using Hermetics Australia’s Food Grade Flavours.

Well first of all, we are wholly Australian owned and manufactured! So when you buy from us, you are supporting a local business!

Secondly and most importantly, our products are developed in a controlled environment to the highest standards with nine years of industry research and experience behind us.

What makes Hermetics more superior to the large majority of hand-sanitizers and anti-bacterial products out in the current market.

It starts with the two highly effective active ingredients in our formula. These ingredients combat 99% of viruses and bacteria in under 30 seconds.

Vantocil IB is a broad spectrum fast acting bactericide for the formulation of disinfectants and sanitisers for use in industrial, institutional, agricultural, food, beverage and domestic disinfections applications.

Benzalkonium Chloride is used in the Hermetics formula as a biocide, a cationic surfactant, and a phase transfer agent.

Hermetics contains zero alcohol, therefore non-flammable, not classed as a dangerous good, and not harsh to sensitive skin.

Hermetics products are not scented with perfume to mask the smell of alcohol. The beautiful fragrances we formulate our products with are derived from natural and artificial food flavourings. As such, they do not linger, and do not stick to your hands as is the case with perfume-based fragrances in alcohol-based hand sanitizers.

Hermetics anti-bacterial spray can be used on all surfaces and won’t ruin your kitchen table for example.

Our 150ml spray bottles deliver over 1500 sprays per bottle, therefore lasting you longer than a 1 litre pump-action bottle and half the price.

Children love the children-fragranced line of Hermetics, and will encourage them to use it more frequently.

How to use Hermetics Australia anti-bacterial spray

Dispense one spray on each of your hands to cover all surfaces of the hands completely. Then rub hands together until dry, this should take approximately 5 to 10 seconds. Be certain to cover back of hands, in between fingers, and around fingernails. We always recommend children under 5 to be supervised.

How long will a bottle last me?
