Resins and adhesives manufacturer Scott Bader, has launched a new thickener for alcohol-based hand cleansers to help the global COVID-19 effort. In just 10 days, the Northamptonshire based chemical manufacturer Scott Bader has developed and brought to market a new thickener for alcohol-based hand cleansers.

By acting so quickly to develop Texicryl 13-321, manufacturers will be able to produce more hand cleansers to fight against the global spread of infections and viruses including COVID-19.

Group Product Manager, Mark Stanion commented: “In less than a month, we have taken a concept from lab to full scale production.
