WHAT ARE Chlorine Dioxide TabletS (CHLORITAB®)?
CHLORITAB® (Chlorine Dioxide Tablets) is a unique tablet which generates & releases Chlorine Dioxide for water purification when in contact with humidity, moisture or water. It is a unique combination of ingredients which were till date found in a two-component system like activator and releaser. Therefore, it is the most convenient way to deliver high-purity Chlorine Dioxide tablets for disinfection at the point of use.
WHY Chlorine Dioxide TabletS (CHLORITAB®)?
Chlorine Dioxide tablets for sterlization is one of the few effective decontaminating agents that are used for the decontamination of buildings, rooms, and bio-safety cabinets. As a “true” gas, Chloritab® chlorine dioxide tablets are one of the few decontaminating agents that are truly effective in areas that are difficult to reach such as in floor drains, ceiling grids, the underside of components, in cabinets, hinges, and other difficult-to-reach areas. In contrast, other traditional decontaminating methods such as sprays, mists, foggers, vapour generation systems, and manual wiping are not as effective because they do not reach all areas at an effective concentration.
Today, businesses are upgrading to Chlorine Dioxide water treatment for its many advantages over formaldehyde. Chlorine Dioxide tablets for disinfection are non-carcinogenic, it does not require neutralization and it leaves no residues that require manual wiping. Moreover, a fully integrated Chlorine Dioxide monitor is available to accurately monitor and control the decontamination cycle.
BENEFITS OF Chlorine Dioxide TabletS (CHLORITAB®)
The various benefits of Chlorine Dioxide Tablets for water purification are as under:
- Safety:
- Not carcinogenic, no decontamination required after use, mucus membrane irritant
- No decontamination is needed upon exiting the facility
- Furthermore, people entering the area need to be in self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
- Current Uses:
- Bio-remediation(Anthrax-Hart Building, Trenton Post Office, AMI building)
- Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Sterlization
- Removal of biofilms
- Chlorine Dioxide Water treatment(Meat Processing, Livestock)
- Swimming Pool Water Treatment
- Regulatory Status:
- EPA registered for pharmaceutical sterilization (Including clean rooms)
- Biocidal Activity:
- Broad Spectrum: High Humidity(>65%), Good Sporicidal activity
- Mode of action: Oxidation, Free radical monomer, Does not Chlorinate
- Functional Conditions:
- Chlorine Dioxide for drinking water treatment at 0.2-5 mg/L
- Need>65%RH(hydration critical to sporicidal properties)
- Effective at ambient temperatures (15- 40oC): In situ generation, Typical exposure time 1 hour
ADVANTAGES / DISADVANTAGES
- Broad Spectrum Biocidal Properties
- Good sporicidal activity
- Chlorine Dioxide is a true gas (Boiling point 110C)
- Aditionally, gas concentration is continuously monitored during process
- No neutralization of the gas is needed
- Can vent to atmosphere or scrub
- Gas penetrates dead legs and hard to reach places
- Chlorine Dioxide Tablets for surface disinfection in food industry
- EPA approved sterilant
- Novartis validated filling line using Chlorine Dioxide Sterlization
- Moreover, it does not Chlorinate environment and equipment.
- It doesn’t have effect on wide range of plastics
- It doesn’t have effect on stainless steel surfaces
- It doesn’t have effect on anodized aluminium
- However, it can be corrosive to uncoated ferrous metals at higher concentrations
areas of application
- Chlorine Dioxide Water Purification
