Can I hard wire the dispenser for power instead of the batteries and if so how do I do it?

A) Yes, the unit can be hard wired. The K-C Legal department does not permit us to provide instruction on how to hard wire due to liability concerns. What we can provide are the following system input requirements so the account can hire a licensed electrician to perform the installation: 1) The external power socket (located on the bottom right of the module) has the ability to remotely power the unit via an external power source. 2) The voltage should be between 6.5 to 7.5 Volts at 2Amps peak at motor start and 0.55 amps motor running. The quiescent current is very small at 0.05Amps 3) The connector on board is a CUI Inc. Part number PJ-002B. Suggested mate would be CUI Inc. CA-2200. This is a moulded connector with 6-foot open-ended wire to be connected to a power source. 4) The centre pin of the connector is the + input and is protected for reversed polarity.

How often and how should I wash my hands?

The frequency of hand washing depends, of course, on the importance of preventing cross-contamination in your workplace.In general, settings such as office buildings and factories, at a minimum, one should wash their hands whenever they are soiled, before eating, drinking and after smoking, and always after using the washroom.In food preparation, environments and health care settings, you should consult with your safety official.In general, in these environments, you should wash your hands as you would in an office environment in addition to anytime you move between work areas (such as between patients or between raw food and prepared food.)Again, please consult your local expert as specific requirements vary greatly by application.

Will your product stain my counter?

Kimberly-Clark soaps contain only water soluble dyes that will not permanently stain properly maintained surfaces.Many countertops, especially natural surfaces, are very porous. If these surfaces are not sealed per the manufacturers instructions, any liquid that contains solids (such as soaps) might soak into the pores and leave the appearance of a stain. This can even happen with clear dye-free soaps.

What is the difference between a hand cleanser and a hand sanitiser?

Hand cleansers are “rinse off” products. Water is required to create lather and dirt is removed by rubbing hands together. Water is then used to rinse the product off and ideally single use hand towels are used to dry hands. Hand sanitisers are “leave on” products which can be used in the absence of water. Depending on the segment and protocols in place – they are complementary to hand cleansing and drying. Sanitiser is dispensed on the hands and the product rapidly kills bacteria and micro-organisms – they do not clean hands. They are used to prevent cross-contamination of physically clean hands.

Are KLEENEX® Instant Hand Sanitisers compatible with gloves?

Some cosmetic ingredients are not compatible with materials used for disposable gloves, particularly latex, and can cause the glove to develop pin-holes or even to split. This can be particularly hazardous in critical environments.

What happens if someone drinks KLEENEX® Instant Hand Sanitiser?

The alcohol in the Instant Hand Sanitiser has been denatured with Isopropyl alcohol which gives it an unpalatable bitter taste which should prevent anyone drinking it. Ethanol is not scheduled as a poison in the SUSMP as it’s considered “low toxicity for any environment”. In the unlikely event that someone does drink it, the Material Safety Data Sheet contains advice on what action to take.

What’s the difference between a “sanitiser” and an “instant hand cleanser”?

At the time of launching our first hand “sanitiser”, the ASEAN Cosmetics Directive stipulated that in order to call a product a “sanitiser” it must be a registered or medicinal product (ie. TGA approved). Given the popularity of sanitisers in recent years, the rules have changed to allow both cosmetic (non-registered) and medicinal products. The major difference between the two being the claims that can be made – that is, a registered (medicinal) product can make claims around specific organisms while a non-registered (cosmetic) product can only claim to kill 99.9% of bacteria.

The new WYPALL* L10 Roll Control will reduce usage.Research commissioned by Kimberly-Clark found that on average the WYPALL* L10 Roll Control wiping system cut wiper consumption by up to 25% thereby potentially reducing costs. We suggest that you trial the product to determine the actual reductions/savings for your business.

Dispensing must be in a downward direction. Check that the sheet is feeding correctly and that it is not clogging by opening the door and restart the feeding through the dispenser if necessary.Check also that the dispenser is properly mounted at the correct height (1.6m from the ground).

Two sheets of WYPALL* L10 Roll Control Roll Wipers are being dispensed at a time, why is this?

Ensure that each sheet is gripped as low as possible.Two-sheet dispensing can occur when the offset between sheets is closer than normal. This will correct itself with continued dispensing.

Are JACKSON SAFETY/KLEENGUARD Gloves recylable?

None of our gloves are recyclable, they should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.

What is AQL?

Acceptable Quality Limit is a measure of the quality of a glove in terms of water leakage and other defects of a glove. This is assessed by random sampling of a batch which is defined according to the batch size and the quantity of gloves to be analysed. The results provide a statistical probability that the result of the random sample, will also be valid for the entire batch-designated by the AQL. Where a customer places high demands on the product, they will require a glove with a lower AQL. KLEENGUARD* & JACKSON SAFETY* Industrial Gloves have the following: G10 Gloves have an AQL of 4.0 for pinholes G20 Gloves have an AQL of 1.5 for pinholes G80 Nitrile Gloves have an AQL of 0.65 for pinholes Performance Level Acceptable Quality Level Unit Level 3 <0.65 Level 2 <1.5 Level 1 <4.0

Do your gloves contain phthalates?

KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* does not directly include phthalates in any nitrile or latex glove formulations, and we have no reason to suspect that any of our raw materials contain phthalates. Phthalates are plasticizers; they are substances added to plastics to increase flexibility. They are used to turn polyvinyl chloride from a hard plastic into a flexible plastic and can be used in vinyl gloves to impart softness and flexibility. Phthalates can leach from the plastics and users can be exposed.
