Chlorine Dioxide is a powerful oxidizing agent and biocide, with broad spectrum efficacy against bacteria, fungi, algae, viruses and protozoa. The basic properties of chlorine dioxide that differentiate it from other oxidizing biocides/disinfectants are: ### •Chlorine dioxide possesses broad spectrum anti-microbial capabilities. # •Chlorine dioxide is not sensitive to system pH. # •Chlorine dioxide is very specific and enters into only a few side reactions when compared with chlorine, it does not chlorinate organics. The predominant oxidation reaction mechanism for chlorine dioxide proceeds through a process known as free radical electrophilic abstraction rather than by oxidative substitution or addition (as in chlorinating agents). Thus, chlorine-free chlorine dioxide does not chlorinate natural organic matter. # •Provides a residual disinfectant level. # •Chlorine dioxide is significantly less corrosive than chlorine. # •Approved by the EPA for drinking water disinfection # •Chlorine dioxide is 100 – 1000 times more effective at removing / preventing biofilm than chlorine. ### Uses in Brewing: # Water disinfection, # Post rinse sanitizer for CIP, # Bottle washer final rinse, # General disinfection ### Can not be sent with postal orders ###
