How It Works
Ultra Pure Microreactor Technology
The original or “stabilized” version of chlorine dioxide is made from precursor chemicals mixed together, creating low concentrations of ClO2, but also many harmful chlorinated by-products including toxic and corrosive chlorates. Then, chlorine dioxide generators were utilized to create a better concentration of ClO2. However, these generators are extraordinarily expensive, not mobile, and require trained personnel to operate. Corrosive chlorinated by-products also remained a concern.

Ultra Pure Microreactor Technology
- Because only a controlled amount of water vapor crosses the membrane, The reactants remain concentrated driving the reaction to completion.
- The microreactor seperates the solid reactants from the water using a reaction controlling membrane.
- Spent reactants are retained in the microreactor; greater than 99% pure chlorine dioxide exists in working aqueous solution.
What are “quats” and why should you be concerned?
Ammonium quaternary compounds (“quats” or “QACs”) are active ingredients found in antibacterial household and industrial cleaning products.
Product labels on ammonium quaternary cleaning products often advise users to wash their hands after use, keep out of reach of children, and in some cases, rinse down the affected areas with water after use. Why?
- Quats are officially registered as pesticides with the EPA.
- Quats are potent skin irritants and can cause rashes and dermatitis.
- Quats can cause respiratory irritation leading to breathing problems.
- Cleaning workers exposed regularly to quats have developed occupational asthma.
- Quats are linked to reproductive harm, potentially affecting fertility, and possibly leading to birth defects.
- Widespread use of quats is contributing to the global problem of antimicrobial resistance, leading to the development of “superbugs” that cannot be controlled with antibiotics.
- Despite popular belief, the use of potent antibacterial cleaners in the home has never been proven to reduce colds or flu in the people that live there…and the potential health effects of the quats in them are more severe than the cold and flu symptoms they’re supposed to be preventing.
How to identify ammonium quaternary compounds.
Quats are a class of chemicals most often found in disinfectant sprays, antibacterial all-purpose cleaners, and disinfectant wipes. Any active ingredients in household cleaners including “...onium chloride” is a quat. Common examples of quats in household cleaners include:
- Benzalkonium chloride
- Alkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride
- Alkyl dimethyl enthylbenzyl ammonium chloride
- Didecyldimethylammonium chloride
