WHAT IS CHLORINE DIOXIDE ?

chlorine dioxide has been described as the “ideal” biocide. Recent innovations in safe and efficient delivery mechanisms have allowed chlorine dioxide to be applied to a wide variety of applications. It’s now included in many drinking water hygiene programs around the globe.

Chlorine Dioxide Tablet / Powder is a tablet/powder form blend of precursor chemicals producing chlorine dioxide only when it comes into contact with water or when it is exposed to moisture in ambient air.It is a chemical compound with formula CLO2 has a molecular weight of 67.45 and exists as a gas at normal temperatures and pressures, it exists as a free radical in dilute solution is a strong virucidal. Chlorine Dioxide (CIO2) is an oxidising biocide, it can release oxygen atoms with strong oxidizing capacity,it kills micro-organisms (bacteria, viruses and spores) by attacking and penetrating their cell wall, disrupting the transport of nutrients across the cell wall and inhibiting protein synthesis.Meanwhile, Chlorine dioxide is able to purify air by oxidizing the substance which can release odor.

The major advantage of chlorine dioxide, in comparison with other oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, ozone and chlorine), is its low oxidation power, in combination with a high oxidation capacity. The combination of low oxidation power and high oxidation capacity makes this product very suitable for relatively safe and easy use in a variety of applications including aquaculture.

Contrary to many other oxidants, chlorine dioxide is also very effective at low temperatures and high pH values. Unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not affect the pH value.
