What is Dioxygen Chloride?

Dioxygen Chloride [O2Cl] (traditionally known as Chlorine Dioxide [ClO2]) is a yellowish gas that was synthesized in the United States in the early 19th century.

This chemical compound is formed by the union of two oxygen molecules and one chlorine molecule, and is presented as an aqueous solution, thanks to its high degree of solubility in water, until a concentration of 1% is reached, at which point the solution becomes saturated.

Clodos Technology products, thanks to an internationally unique patented formulation, maintain the dioxygen chloride molecule as a gas dissolved in water in a stable, pure and highly concentrated formulation. This avoids the decomposition of the molecule into free chlorine, guaranteeing the non-generation of polluting by-products such as Chloramines, Haloacetic Acids, or Trihalomethanes.

The molecule is a paramagnetic radical, which makes it one of the most powerful disinfectant active ingredients currently available (8 times more powerful than chlorine and 3 times more powerful than ozone), being effective in the control of viruses, bacteria, fungi, molds, spores, biofilm, in addition to its ovicidal and larvicidal capacity.

Although this active material has not become popular in Spain, in other countries such as the USA, Germany or Italy it is commonly used for the disinfection treatment of water for human consumption and in wastewater treatment processes, by means of traditional generation technologies.

The success of the product is based on the fact that, when applied, it alters cellular development, breaking the Krebs Cycle (or citric acid cycle), and eliminates pathogenic microorganisms, without affecting living organisms or tissues.

Advantages of CLODOS® Technology

The advantages of CLODOS over other disinfectants on the market are not the result of chance, but are the culmination of extensive research and a process of continuous improvement carried out overmore than 35 years:

✓ Complies with all requirements established in national (Royal Decree 1054/2002), European (Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006: REACH) and international (ADR, RID, IITT, IMDG) regulations.

Effective in the control of viruses, bacteria, fungi, molds, spores and biofilm.

✓ There are no resistances to the product, nor are they generated.

Eliminates biofilm in pipes and biofouling problems in pumps and filters.

✓ 4 to 10 times more effective than other disinfectants.

✓ Does not generate toxic by-products (THM, chloramines, AHA, etc).

✓ No safety time limit and no rinsing required as no residues are generated.

✓ 100% efficacy in typical water pH ranges (pH 4 - 10).

High-precision equipment developed to measure the concentration of active material in any part of a plant.

✓ Reduces odors by eliminating bacteria that generate NH3 and H2S.

✓ Residual efficacy in treated water that prevents re-pollution.

✓ Does not increase the corrosivity of water at use rates.

In the doses of use it does not transmit odor, color or taste to the water, nor to the products in contact with it.
