About BVClO2….

• BVClO2 / Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is a yellow-green gas with excellent distribution, penetration and sterilization abilities.

• Although chlorine dioxide has “chlorine” in its name, its chemistry is radically different from that of chlorine.

• Chlorine dioxide has been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US-FDA for many applications.

• It has been demonstrated effective as a broad spectrum bactericidal, fungicidal, and virucidal agent.

• When reacting with other substances, it is weaker and more selective, allowing it to be a more efficient and effective sterilizer.

• Chlorine dioxide is widely used as an antimicrobial and as an oxidizing agent in drinking water sanitation.

• It is also used in the food processing and health care industry.

Usage:

• 1 Tablet (5 gm) 1000 litre water will give 0.5 ppm solution.

• 1 Tablet (10 gm) 2000 litre water will give 0.5 ppm solution.

Mode Of Action

It acts as an oxidizing agent and reacts with several cellular constituents, including the cell membrane of microbes. By “stealing” electrons from them (oxidation), it breaks their molecular bonds, resulting in the death of the organism by the breakup of the cell.

By altering the proteins involved in the structure of microorganisms, their enzymatic function is broken and causes very rapid bacterial kills. This oxidative attack on many proteins simultaneously is behind the potency of chlorine dioxide and also prevents microorganisms from mutating to a resistant form.

Because of the selective reactivity of chlorine dioxide, its antimicrobial action is retained longer in the presence of organic matter than most other decontaminating agents.

Water Solubility

Unlike many decontaminating agents, chlorine dioxide has the unique ability to retain its sterilization capacity in water.
