In the face of the COVID-19 outbreak, consumption of antiseptic supplies has increased dramatically from all walks of life.

The chlor-alkali and fine chemical companies in Shandong have leveraged their manufacturing advantages to increase the production load and output of sodium hypochlorite and 84 disinfectant solutions to meet the needs of epidemic prevention and fighting of society.
84 disinfectant is a commonly used disinfectant. Sodium hypochlorite solution is the main component of 84 disinfectant solution. It is a by-product of chlor-alkali production. Sodium hypochlorite has not been produced and sold as a product of BEFAR Group Co., Ltd., but when the COVID-19 broke out, the company resolutely make the decision to resume an emergency production, during the Spring Festival holiday, temporarily increased production deployment tasks, nearly 200 cadres and employees took the initiative to abandon the vacation, and rushed back to the company to work overtime 24 hours to deploy the production of sodium hypochlorite disinfection solution. The company provided free hypochlorite disinfecting solution with an effective chlorine content of 5.5 to 6.5% for all cities, counties and districts of Binzhou City, overcoming the road transportation difficulties during the Spring Festival. They purchased 200 tons of barrels at the expense of 120,000 yuan and hire two special transportation vehicles.

Wanhua Chemical Group. increased the output of sodium hypochlorite from 30 tons / day in the early stage of the COVID-19 outbreak to the 70 tons / day currently.

On the same day, the purchasing department purchased 300pcs of 25 kg plastic drums, and designed a disinfectant solution label suitable for small buckets. Wanhua Yantai Industrial Park opened an emergency green channel to simplify the delivery process and ensure that the disinfectant solution is delivered in the shortest time.
