Ethyl Alcohol Based
70% ethanol causes the protein of the cell of the micro organism to coagulate at a slow rate. This allows the ethanol to penetrate the entire cell before it had a chance for its coagulation to block it. The entire cell is then coagulated, causing the cell to die. The 30% water that has been mixed into the ethanol slows the drying time, creating a longer contact time. 70% Ethanol kills microbes in 10 seconds.
