Algeria's National Enterprise for Detergents (ENAD) has developed two new medical and disinfection products, including a high-quality hydro-alcoholic gel for hand disinfection and a formula to destroy the protein envelope of certain viruses, such as coronavirus. The products were developed by ENAD's research and development laboratory in Sour El-Ghozlane. According to a source within the industrial complex, the gel and disinfectant were created by the lab's chemists and biologists.
The hydro-alcoholic gel, which will be priced at 300 Algerian dinars (DA) per liter, is expected to help alleviate the shortage and speculation that has plagued the national market in recent days. ENAD plans to produce the gel and disinfectant in large quantities and make them available to the public in a short amount of time. The enterprise aims to put an end to the pandemic by providing the nation with necessary products.
However, large-scale production of the gel and disinfectant requires the acquisition of "sensitive" chemical products, such as ammonium. The purchase of these products is subject to special authorization from the Ministry of Energy and Mining. ENAD has submitted a request for authorization to acquire and transport these components.
According to a source close to ENAD, the enterprise is required to use locally produced chemical compounds that are subject to authorization from the Ministry of Energy's sensitive products department. In these difficult times, ENAD is counting on a relaxation of procedures to ensure its production is accompanied by the necessary authorizations.
The development of these products is a significant step forward in Algeria's fight against the coronavirus pandemic. ENAD's efforts to provide the nation with essential medical products have been praised by sources close to the enterprise. The gel and disinfectant are expected to play a crucial role in preventing the spread of the virus.
The pricing of the gel and disinfectant is also seen as a key factor in making these products accessible to the general public. With a price of 300 DA per liter, the hydro-alcoholic gel is expected to be affordable for most Algerians. This move is part of ENAD's efforts to make its products available to those who need them most.
ENAD's production of the hydro-alcoholic gel and disinfectant is subject to the approval of the Ministry of Energy and Mining. Once authorized, the enterprise plans to ramp up production and distribute the products across the country. The development of these medical-grade products is a significant achievement for Algeria's industrial sector.
