What are the benefits of 99.9% pure chlorine dioxide ClO2?
The Story of Pure Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2)
Historically, chlorine dioxide (CD) became important in sanitation because of municipal water treatment concerns about halomethanes and chloramines generated during industrial chlorine-based water treatment. The American Water Works Association (1, 2) details the chemical properties of CD, with gas generator designs and the history and applications of CD in water treatment.
To date, limitations in CD gas generation technology have kept this attractive product from many applications for which its properties would be advantageous. Several novel technologies may bring it into the mainstream of biopharmaceutical manufacturing and maintenance operations.
The original or “stabilized” version of chlorine dioxide is made from precursor chemicals mixed together, creating low concentrations of ClO2 but also many harmful chlorinated by-products including toxic and corrosive chlorates.
Then, chlorine dioxide generators were utilized to create a better concentration of ClO2. These generators are expensive, not mobile and require trained personnel. Corrosive chlorinated by-products remain a concern.
Today, patented ClO2 technology is available, allowing for ultra pure (99.9%) chlorine dioxide that’s ready to use. It requires no special training, is portable and SAFE. The purity of our product makes it ideal for food, health care, schools and daycares, as well as general disinfection and deodorization.
