Georgia-Pacific Professional announces the expansion of its successful line of enMotion® products with the enMotion® Automated Touchless Sanitizer Dispenser, a new translucent dispenser that will help consumers easily identify sanitizer in public areas. This new addition to the enMotion family of products supports Georgia-Pacific Professionals efforts to promote good hand hygiene practices when away from home.
The sanitizer dispenser possesses the same notable qualities that distinguish the enMotion® Automated Touchless Soap Dispenser as a leader in touchless dispensing systems. It features an adjustable portion control setting of 0.4 mL and 0.7 mL which helps provide cost savings through prolonged product life between refills and reduced maintenance visits. The dispenser also helps reduce maintenance time with high-capacity product and an at-a-glance sight window that allows staff to easily check sanitizer levels. The dispenser features a maintenance switch to temporarily deactivate dispensing, allowing for easy cleaning while helping to eliminate waste and mess.
"Georgia-Pacific Professional is raising awareness about the importance of hand hygiene practices with national educational campaigns," says Eric Jungslager, category director at Georgia-Pacific Professional. "The addition of our new sanitizer dispenser continues these efforts by helping consumers keep their hands clean while away from home and when soap and water arent available."
The enMotion® Automated Touchless Sanitizer Dispenser provides fast-response, no-touch dispensing to help reduce germs on hands. The enMotion® Foam Hand Sanitizer with moisturizers is formulated with aloe and other conditioners that help protect against dry skin, while killing germs on contact.
