UC Disinfectant
Food Grade Gaseous ClO2 SolutionMay be the most user- & Earth-friendly disinfectant to replace corrosive liquids like the 1:99 and 1:49 bleach, smelly hydrogen peroxide, and the highly inflammable 75%-alcohol liquid in compatible price
A1 Grade Safe Disinfectant by WHO EPA FDA FAO
WHO, EPA, FDA, and FAO has classified Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) as grade A1 chemical championed on both friendliness to end-user and to the Earth. ClO2 is regarded as a new disinfectant after chlorine-based chemicals.
America, Japan, Australia, Germany and Europe has approved chlorine dioxide as food additive.
ClO2 (Chlorine Dioxide) VS Chlorine
- Both Chlorine and ClO2 are oxidizing agents.
- However, ClO2 does not produce environmentally dangerous chlorinated organics.
- ClO2 has 2.6 times the oxidation power of chlorine bleach.
- ClO2 has the advantage of directly react to the cell wall of microorganisms, and microorganisms cannot built up any resistance against ClO2.
- ClO2 is known to be faster-acting than Chlorine, especially if the ph is rising.
This table compares chemical and physical properties among popular disinfectants in market. This can be explained as in follows:
- UC (gaseous ClO2) vs aqueous ClO2: Latter is indeed an acidic liquid which needs higher concentration to kill germs but to corrode surface in the same time
- Formalin: Often for professional usage only, let alone its nature of releasing formaldehyde, a proven carcinogen to human beings.
- UC vs Alcohol: UC does not dehydrate your skin.
- UC vs Bleach: UC can effectively disinfect from a much lower concentration (from 2 ppm as the lab photo in blow shows), posting much less risk of over-oxidizing substrate surface after disinfection.
- UC vs Hypochlorous acid water: Ditto, UC works in much lower concentration, which means lower risk on causing damage.
- Ozone: Often for professional usage only, because too high of its airborne concentration (> 50 ppb) can trigger a variety of health problems including chest pain, coughing, throat irritation, and airway inflammation.
Showcase of Disinfection Power
After image show a disinfection experiment on chicken stool. Righ side of each dish was wiped with UC Collodial Disinfectant in concentration ranged from 2 ppm to 100 ppm. US worked well even in the lowest concentration strain.
Antimicrobial Efficacy Test
The in vitro antimicrobial activity of UC Colloidal Disinfectant (UC-1) was examined.
The in vitro antimicrobial activity was more than 98.2% reduction for bacteria and fungi (Table 1); excellent antimicrobial activity was observed at low concentrations of 5 and 20 ppm UC-1 for bacteria and fungi, respectively.

Antiviral Assay
The antiviral activity of 0, 25, 50, 100, and 200 ppm UC-1 after 2 min of reaction.
For H1N1 and influenza virus B/TW/71718/04, 200 ppm UC-1 had the most significant effect in inhibiting viral plaque formation. The half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of H1N1 was 84.65 ± 0.64 ppm and that of influenza virus B/TW/71718/04 was 95.91 ± 11.61 ppm.
For EV71, 50 ppm UC-1 showed significant inhibition activity, with an IC50 of 46.39 ± 1.97 ppm at 2 min. The results showing statistical significance (p < 0.05) are presented. Bars are plotted as means ± SD.

Use Cases of ClO2 Disinfectant
- 2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) infection prevention at Taiwan Taoyuan Airport
- 2003 MERS-CoV and SARS infection prevention at Taipei Municipal Hoping Hospital
- 2001 Amerithrax bioterrorist attack in USA
- Since 2016 distributed as a consumer product on brand name 戴維爵士 over 800 retail outlets in Taiwan
UC Disinfectant is Better
This disinfectant solution is dispersed with enormous amount of nano size bubbles of chlorine dioxide gas.
The bubbles do not settle and cannot be separated out by ordinary filtering or centrifuging like those in a suspension.
Therefore the resulting disinfectant solution has a much longer shelf-life (2-year vs 1-year) and lasting germicidal effect (14-day vs 24-hour on bleach vs few-second on alcohol ) in comparison to other liquid disinfectants.
Halal Certified
UC Disinfectant is classified by WHO as a food grade product. It can be applied to utensils without a need of rinsing. With this Halal certificate Islamic restaurants are becoming worry-free to use UC Disinfectant sanitizing their dine rooms with tables all set.
