INEOS<\/a> intends to produce both standard and the increasingly popular \u201cpocket bottle\u201d hand sanitisers and is already talking to retail outlets across Europe. Supplies to NHS hospitals will be free of charge for the period of the crisis with the public being able to purchase bottles through retailers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company manufactures essential healthcare products from rubber gloves to PVC saline drips, syringes, ventilators, medical tubing. Its products purify public drinking water. It produces raw materials for soap, acetone for aspirin and paracetamol, and its phenol is being used in pharmaceutical analysis essential in procedures necessary to find a vaccine.
