UC Disinfectant
Food Grade Aqueous ClO2 SolutionMay be the most user- & Earth-friendly aqueous ClO2 (chlorine dioxide) disinfectant to replace corrosive disinfectants like bleach, smelly hydrogen peroxide, and the highly inflammable 75%-alcohol liquid, in compatible price.

How Aqueous ClO2 is Better then Other Disinfectants
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 (NaClO): UC can effectively disinfect from a much lower concentration (from 2 ppm as a lab report shows), posting much less risk of over-oxidizing substrate surface after disinfection.
- UC vs Hypochlorous acid (HClO): Likewise, 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.
ClO2 (Chlorine Dioxide) is Not Chlorine
While you may notice Chlorine Dioxide has Chlorine in its name, its chemistry is radically different from that Chlorine. Aqueous ClO2 is also NOT hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl–). Those latter two have very different sterilization power than the former one. Below information might help you to understand further on this.
- 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.
