Product Description
What is chlorine dioxide?
Chlorine dioxide is an oxidizing yellowish-green gas above 11ºC. It has high water solubility.- approximately 10 times more soluble in water than chlorine. ClO2 does not hydrolyze when it enters water. It remains a dissolved gas in solution.
How dose ClO2 kill virus, bacteria and spores?
ClO2 kills micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses and spores) by attacking and penetrating their cell wall. It's strong oxidizing ability can disrupt the transport of nutrients across the cell wall and inhibiting protein synthesis. Since this action occurs regardless of the metabolic state of the organism, ClO2 is very effective against dormant organisms and spores (Giardia Cysts and Poliovirus). It is widely used for bleaching, water treatment, microbiological control and disinfection.
WHO & FAO Recommend ClO2 as 4th generation safe and green disinfectant to the world
ClO2 solution won't cause influence to human body under 500ppm. Common dosage is much lower as ClO2 has high effectiveness. For example 1-2ppm can kill 99.99% virus and bacterial in drinking water. ClO2 won't generate CHCl3 in disinfection process. So it is globally recommended as the the fourth generation disinfectant after calcium hypochlorite, NaDCC and TCCA.
