Chlorine Dioxide is an extremely effective, potent, fast acting bactericide that does not form toxic by-products, is 100% biodegradable, and leaves no residual toxicity. It is a broad spectrum biocide that is effective against all bacteria, viruses, mould, fungi, algae and spore formers such as Giardia and Cryptosporidium.

It even eliminates odors, and rapidly destroys sessile bacteria. With minimal contact time, it is highly effective against many pathogenic organisms including bacterial spores, MRSA, STAPH, C Diff, Legionella, Tuberculosis, Salmonella, E. Coli, Cryptosporidium and more! Most importantly, chlorine dioxide eradicates bio-film so that re-growth of harmful bacteria is significantly reduced.

Chlorine dioxide acts by first destroying the cell membrane, then the nucleus of the bacteria by chemical oxidation not chlorination. Because the organism is totally destroyed no resistant strains can develop which enables chlorine dioxide to be used on a continuous basis without the need for alternating biocides.

Applications –

Agriculture- List of disease that can be prevented/cured with chlorine dioxide. Method- spray.

Downy mildew, leaf spot, anthracnose, black heart disease, soft rot, leaf diseases, powdery mildew, leaf blight, wilt disease, smut, scab, white rot, rust, ulcer disease, sheath blight, leaf mold disease, rice blast etc.

Post Harvest Treatment- Fruits & vegetables when dip treated with chlorine dioxide, increases the shelf life of it to a large extent, benefit is it reduces the wastage that happens because of spoilage.

Further chlorine dioxide has applications in poultry, piggery and dairy farming too. Do write in for your specific queries.
