ALL NATURAL, READY-TO-USE DISINFECTANT,

SANITIZER, CLEANER & DEODORIZER

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)

The active ingredient of Sanatyze™ and source of its powerful disinfecting ability is Hypochlorous acid (HOCl).

HOCl is a unique chlorine subspecies well known for its antimicrobial properties. In fact, it’s most famously known for being naturally produced by white blood cells in all mammals to fight infections. The substance effectively eliminates a broad range of microorganisms. Recent technology in electrolysis has allowed this compound to be produced outside of our bodies. This process runs an electrical current through NaCl (table salt) and water and precisely controls the environment around the chemical (pH) to create a chemical reaction forming sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl).

These two compounds are useful cleaning and disinfecting solutions for many types of hard and soft surfaces. Sodium hydroxide is a cleaner that removes soils, stains and residue build-up. Hypochlorous acid is a disinfectant that kills and inactivates a wide range of germs and viruses. Facilities can maximize the effectiveness of their cleaning programs by using the solutions in a two-step cleaning and disinfecting process. 

HOCl is 100% natural.

HOCl is completely harmless to humans and other mammals. It is a very strong electrolyzed water disinfectant and sanitizer. More effective than chemical sanitizers, chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and ozone. HOCl eliminates odors, and is safe on all materials.

The Science Behind Hypochlorous

Ready-to-Use formulations are pre-mixed and ready to apply. The power is in the uniquely formulated hypochlorous acid—all natural and eco-friendly. Safe, biodegradable, sustainable and effective, our products are ideal for industrial disinfecting and cleaning, animal and livestock barn and facility biosecurity, and eliminating odors.

The only requirements for our systems are a supply of salt, water and electricity. The generators can be controlled by a PLC with an easy to operate HMI (Human Machine Interface) allowing the end user to accurately control the pH value of Anolyte and ensure the correct dosing levels for a particular application.

Hypochlorous Acid Advantages:

1. Efficacy. HOCl inactivates a variety of viruses, including coronaviruses, in less than one minute. In a comparison of disinfectants used in surgical centers, hypochlorous acid reduced the bacterial count significantly more than standard disinfectants. It’s also effective against the common cold, flu and norovirus, which is recognized as one of the most difficult viruses to kill.
2. Safety. Producing HOCl using on-site generation (OSG) systems requires only water, salt and electricity, meaning the disinfectant has no added fragrances, preservatives or irritating odors. It has been proven to be non-irritating to eyes and skin and can be used without personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves and masks.
3. Sustainability. Unlike conventional chemicals that can pollute waterways, hypochlorous acid is safe to dispose of without environmental concerns. Plus, generating hypochlorous acid on site enables the use of reusable spray bottles, thereby reducing plastic waste. HOCl also does not contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that negatively impact indoor air quality.
4. Availability. Since water, salt and electricity are easy to source and don’t rely on traditional chemical supply chains, facilities using OSG have an unlimited supply of cleaning and disinfecting solutions. This is especially important when supply chains experience delays or interruptions.
5. Increased use. As we look beyond the pandemic, and the world begins to return to normal, there is one topic that seems to be sticking around: increased cleaning frequency. Janitorial services, once hidden in the back or performed during the nightshift, are now on display. As cleaning frequencies increase and tend to be on display, it is critical that chemicals used do not expose those around them to harmful residues or active ingredients. OSG chemistry is produced without irritating surfactants, fragrances or other builders that can cause harm.
