What is Nanochlor?
Nanochlor Effervescent Tablets combine the power of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) – a molecule naturally produced in our bodies to fight pathogens – and Nano Silver Particles (AgNP), thus delivering the fast acting, effective disinfection of HOCl, along with the lasting protection of AgNP.
The first active ingredient is Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (NaDCC or SDIC) – also known as Sodium Troclosene which is an organic chlorine donor that yields hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and monosodiumcyanurate (NaOCl) in a slightly acidic use-solution when mixed with water. These two ingredients remain in a constant 50-50 ratio in the use-solution, so that as part of the free chlorine is used up (due to reaction with bacteria, organic material etc), part of the combined chlorine in the NaOCl is freed to restore the 50-50 ratio and continue the disinfecting process. As a result, HOCl is more stable and has 4 times the killing power of hypochlorite’s such as bleach – particularly in the presence of organic contaminants. This is a major advantage in areas with high organic loading such as biofilms because the chemistry continues to be effective even when there is a high chlorine demand.
It is believed that the efficacy of HOCl is due to the fact that HOCl is very similar to the structure of HOH (water), of similar molecular size, and is electrically neutral – thus allowing it to penetrate cell walls as easily as water.
The second active ingredient is Nano Silver in the form of nano particles (<20nm) uniformly dotted onto the surface of a unique carrier molecule of 400-580nm. The Nano Silver particles “deactivate” pathogens by blocking their metabolic processes, thus delivering strong antimicrobial (anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal) properties, The unique Nano format delivers exponentially higher available silver surface area versus conventional colloidal silver, and the size of the carrier molecule ensures that our Nano Silver is non-cytotoxic.
What is Continuous Active Disinfection (CAD)?
Continuous Active Disinfection is the application of a surface chemical that has intermediate level disinfection on contact and then continuously disinfects potential pathogens that land on the surface thereafter.
With NaDCC, as the disinfectant dries on a surface, the HOCl will evaporate, while any chlorine still bound to the organic donor remains on the surface. If surfaces are wetted again by contact with aerosol droplets containing pathogens, the disinfectant provides persistent action when the donor releases its remaining HOCl molecule. Research has shown this persistent action can last up to 24 hours if the surface is undisturbed.
In addition to this, the Nano Silver (on the carrier molecule) remains active on disinfected surfaces, as demonstrated in SANS 5163 testing in which our Nanochlor Effervescent Tablets demonstrated a kill rate of 99.99% at 14 days.
Nanochlor Effervescent Tablets are thus a true “Continuously Active Disinfectant” (CAD) – a WOLRD FIRST.
Nanochlor offers a long-term protective killing power in addition to the HOCL kill rate by adding a proprietary combination of NaDCC (Sodium Dichloroisocyanurate (SDIC), also known as troclosene sodium) and Nanocare’s Nanosilver in each NanoChlor`s effervescence tablet.
Pathogens have been demonstrated to be susceptible to Nanosilver. Our Quantum Dotted Nanosilver is 450 to 530nm in size, with millions of Nanosilver particles. Our Nanochlor Tablet has been tested to SANS 5163 specifications and has a kill rate of 99.99% at 14 days
after applying this is due to our Quantum Nanosilver in each tablet that give a continuous kill rate. That’s why Nanochlor is a true continuously active
disinfectant (CAD).There are several significant distinctions between Nanocare’s Nanochlor and traditional disinfectants like chlorine bleach, Quats (quaternary ammonium compounds), and other harsh chemicals, not the least of which is its efficacy and cost efficiency. This unique chemistry is less hazardous and suitable for everyday usage while still being effective in killing harmful microorganisms. It has been demonstrated to destroy 99.999% of bacteria and viruses, including “super bugs” like MRSA and H1N1, without causing more “super bugs” to mutate. Nanochlor puts the power of sickness prevention in your hands.
