Quat based hand sanitizers have been proven to effectively deactivate (kill) encapsulated influenza A viruses. Samples of the H1N1 strain have not yet been made available for testing by the commercial market, but the H1N1 virus is classified as an encapsulated virus which would have the same results as other encapsulated viruses. The patented quat based based product being rolled out to the U.S. market this summer called Germ Free 24 is proven to be effective against encapsulated viruses for up to 60 hours per application. this new product greatly increases the level of protection in comparison to alcohol based products that are effective for no more than 5-15 minutes per application.

Can an alcohol free hand sanitizer protect you against swine virus?
Since a virus is not actually a living organism, they can't technically be "killed". However, hand sanitizers have been shown to help prevent the spread of flu by deactivating the viruses that are on your hands and making them harmless._________i think so... if not, at least my hands are clean.....A very common way to transfer a virus is to contaminate your hands and then rub your eyes, nose or mouth with it,so hand sanitizers, and even gloves are a great way at reducing your chances of getting swine flu.------------the real answer is NO! Even soap and water doesn't kill them, but it lifts them off the surface of your hands and rinses them down the drain. Sanitizers spread them around, make your hands smell & look better, and generally do nothing for viruses. They can kill bacteria, but not viruses._______________Your answer can be found in the Center for Disease Control or CDC website.http://www.cdc.gov/H1N1flu/qa.htm" What kills influenza virus?Influenza virus is destroyed by heat (167-212°F [75-100°C]).
