Chlorine Dioxide or Clo2 through its patented ClO2-DMG ™ technology is able to generate and release a nontoxic Chlorine Dioxide vapor, into any confined area, under a sustained basis when exposed to ambient humidity. This gradual release of the nontoxic Chlorine Dioxide vapor penetrates through the air, deeply into any porous material destroying the moleules that cause odors.
Now, thanks to Chlorine Dioxide and its patented ClO2-DMG ™ safe and efficient delivery system, Chlorine Dioxide can be packaged in an inexpensive easy to use small disposable, portable device. This allows Chlorine Dioxide to become economically, easily, readily and safely available directly into homes, schools, hospitals, hotels, restaurants, bathrooms, public transportation and any other public or private facilities where the threat odors or VOC may be.
As a reactive gas, chlorine dioxide cannot be transported in rail cars or cylinders, so its vast potential has gone largely untapped in the industries that need it most. Until now.
One of the major advantages in using ClO2 is that it does not form chlorinated organic byproducts. ClO2 is structurally different than chlorine and reacts with organic matter through different pathways. Chlorine chlorinates organic matter, forming chlorinated byproducts.
Many chlorinated organic compounds have been found to be carcinogenic, such as trihalomethanes (THMs). Alternatively, ClO2 reacts with organic matter through an oxidation-reduction reaction. ClO2 oxidizes the organic matter and is itself reduced to the chlorite ion, and eventually to the chloride ion. Thus, deodorization with ClO2 does not result in carcinogenic chlorinated byproducts.
