Our Chlorine Dioxide

(Active Ingredient: Sodium Chloride 20%)

Chlorine dioxide has been described as the “ideal” biocide. Recent innovations in safe and efficient delivery mechanisms have allowed chlorine dioxide to be applied to a wide variety of applications. It’s now included in many drinking water hygiene programs around the globe. Complete testing has confirmed the safety of chlorine dioxide. This includes extensive studies by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and World Health Organization (WHO).

Clo2 assists in protecting the environment from harmful chemicals, dangerous bacteria and by products formed from other disinfection methods. Chlorine Dioxide is rapidly gaining worldwide public acceptance. Shield Tab solutions create the right environment for the chlorine dioxide molecules with a long biocidal effect and long lasting residual, for the right price and in the right packaging. We think that’s all yo u need….

The potential for our technology is far reaching; applications range from drinking water, animal health, food industry, bio security, etc. Almost 80 different claims have been described in EPA literature. In fact, anywhere microbial contamination is an issue, Shield Tab can be the right choice.

Chlorine dioxide should not be compared to or confused with chlorine!

In case of chlorine dioxide, the oxygen atoms/electron transfer causes the oxidation. The chloride ion (as in sodium chloride (=salt)) does not take an active part in the reaction. The pungent smell of chlorine can therefore not be detected in the water when using chlorine dioxide.

Chlorine dioxide is very effective in killing pathogens such as fungi, bacteria and viruses. It’s a very selective oxidant and reacts mainly with organic substances. The major advantage of chlorine dioxide, in comparison with other oxidants (hydrogen peroxide, ozone and chlorine ), is its low oxidation power, in combination with a high oxidation capacity. The combination of low oxidation power and high oxidation capacity makes this product very suitable for relatively safe and easy use in a variety of applications including aquaculture.

Contrary to many other oxidants, chlorine dioxide is also very effective at low temperatures (20-35 degree Celsius) and high pH values. Unlike chlorine, chlorine dioxide does not affect the pH value.
