RENOVATIO's forward defense mechanisms against Influenza A (H1N1)

• Highly sporicidal • Kills micro-organisms with extremely short contact time • Non-toxic in itself and in its residual by-products • Environmentally-friendly • Reverts over time to original state – weak saline solution • „Food-safe‟ • Can be applied as a foam, mist, ice or liquid solution to treat air, surfaces or liquids • Does not bleach surfaces or materials and virtually odorless • No synthetic chemical residue • It prevents and removes otherwise stubborn biofilm • It is extremely effective against Legionella • It does not form toxic chloramines • It does not form toxic trihalomethanes • It precipitates iron and manganese

Stabilized Chlorine Dioxide

What is stabilized chlorine dioxide?

Stabilized chlorine dioxide is a solution that contains precursor compounds to chlorine dioxide (ClO2). When an activator is added, it releases chlorine dioxide and its benefits. The gas has been captured in an aqueous solution. By activating the stabilized chlorine dioxide, you create a reaction where some of the ClO2 gas is released but the part that remains in an aqueous state is chlorine dioxide.

But why is this process needed? Chlorine dioxide was discovered 1811 by Sir Humphrey Davey. He found that chlorine dioxide gas could not be compressed into cylinders and will in fact explode under conditions of high pressure and high concentration, making it very hazardous to use and ship. Because of this, many people did not want to use it. This is how chlorine gained its popularity. Yet chlorine dioxide very slowly gained recognition from the 1940’s to the 1960’s. During that time the production of chlorine dioxide was done almost exclusively with gas generators on site. These gas generators were large, hazardous, required special training and clearly were for industrial use. As the 1970’s came, chlorine dioxide technology advanced allowing for chlorine dioxide gas to be able to be created in water based solutions of precursor compounds. This became stabilized chlorine dioxide. A safe solution to ship and handle, making it available for everyone.
