Why does hand sanitizer go from gel to liquid?
The hand sanitizer is a weak gel, and the shear flow of spreading it on the hands breaks up the gerl. Such a property is sometimes called thixotropy. One way to think of it is that the bonds holding the gel together are not the permanent type, and once they are disturbed, it takes a while to re-form. Paint is a famous example of a thixotropic substance. It lows on when brushed, but then gels when left alone. If paint were not thixotropic, it would flow down onto the floor.
