Chlorine dioxide is an excellent broad spectrum oxidising biocide which is It is effective at low concentrations and is used in a large number of applications such as disinfection, sanitation and water treatment. The oxidising properties and the radical nature of Chlorine Dioxide make it an excellent virucidal and bactericidal agent in a large pH range.
Chlorine dioxide does not form halogenated by-products, like toxic THM’s, and is effective over a wide pH range in both hard and soft water.
One of the main advantages of using chlorine dioxide is that, unlike most other biocides, it is able to destroy biofilm
Chlorine dioxide is particularly popular in the food and beverage sector, because it doesn’t cause taste or taint, and for the treatment of water in buildings to prevent Legionnaires’ Disease.
