Nanochlor - Effervescent Disinfectant Tablets
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 40 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.
