The Science Bit

Nilco takes the science behind the fun very seriously, all our hand gels are formulated to BS EN 1500 Chemical Disinfectant and Antiseptic Hygienic Hand Rub European Standards.


This test evaluates the efficiency of a hygienic handrub by measuring the number of viable bacteria remaining on the fingertips after contamination and handrub exposure. The highly effective 70% alcohol formulations kill viruses and 99% of bacteria without the need of soap and water, giving users the confidence that their hands will be free from contaminates and harmful bacteria.


Nilco works in accordance with strict ISO 9001 regulations. This standard is used by organisations to demonstrate their ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements and to demonstrate continuous improvement. All of our products are manufactured under HMRC Alcohol license and manufactured using ATEX rated equipment.
