HISTORY
PATENT
A gas with radical form volatile at room temperature, which can not be stored/transported, but is used immediately from production. Its strong oxidative power produces its disinfection function. Classified as oxygen derived disinfectant as like ozone, not chlorine derived disinfectant Due to development of this technology, long term storage/transport is enabled (cf, Nitroglycerine → dynamite)
Introduction of DuPont Chlorine Dioxide
While chlorine dioxide (CℓO2 ) has chlorine in its name, chlorine dioxide’s chemistry is radically different than elemental chlorine. One atom makes all the difference.
STERILIZATION
DISINFECTION
Has sterilizing power for almost all harmful microorganisms such as H1N1 virus, legionella, and salmonella, Has also clearing capacity of phenol, iron, manganese, and sulfides
DEODORIZATION
BLEACHING
Contains deodorizing smells from capacity for decay of vegetable and fish, toilet, and tobacco / Used for bleaching of pulp
SAFETY
No production of carcinogenic byproducts such as THMs(trihalomethanes)
REACTIVITY
Fast reaction velocity ( 3 times faster than that of chlorine) Wide application pH range (stable sterilizing power up to pH10)
ClO2 is the safest and the most eco-friendly disinfectant classified as A-1 grade, the most safest grade, by WHO. But it exists as a gas with volatile radical form, so has a limitation that it should be used immediately after production at the site
As result of joint development with Dr. Kim, In-O, a former senior researcher in application science research department of KIST, VIRUSZERO developed long term storage technology of ClO2 to overcome traditional limitations and allow storage in and transport to necessary places, so as to develop and product various commercial products.(6000PPM)
• Method to manufacture chlorine dioxide water for removing algae and a method to remove algae using this : KOREA FERTILIZER Co, Ltd. Patent application (Application No.10-2013-0088579)
Makes bacteria and viruses reach to death by oxidizing serine, tyrosine, systeine, and methionine, materials for protein (cell membrane, etc) with –OH, -SH residue and producing their oxides Makes viruses lose their genetic replication and propagation by reacting wit their RNA
R-OH + ClO2 -> R=0
R-SH + ClO2 -> R-S=0
R-S-R + ClO2 -> R-S-R
KFC VIRUS ZERO
Aromatics and general deodorants
- Oxidizes and decomposes bad smell causing materials by oxidizing them with strong oxidization power of VIRUS ZERO ClO2
- Eco-friendly because this VIRUSZERO-ClO2 deodorant is decomposed naturally in light and air after deodorization
- Existing fragrances and deodorants has masking effect to mask bad smell causing materials transiently (transient deodorizing effect)
- ClO2, an eco-friendly product with sterilizing and disinfecting efficacy, had superior features compared to other disinfectants (alcohol, clorox, and chlorine), but could not be applied to daily life because of their existence in gas phase at RT.
- Due to rectent technology development, it is applied restrictively to large capacity treatment facilities such as tap water and waste water treatment facility
- Although ClO2 aqueous solution products were launched, they have no commerciality due to evaporation only 1 month after production.
- VIRUS ZERO products of KFC maintains the concentration and its own efficacy for over 18Months
KFC-ClO2, an oxidant and a sterilizing agent, expands its application areas to medicine, veterinary medicine, daily goods, water treatment, environmental agrichemical substitutes, food science, and fishery due to its strong sterilization power to remove various viruses and protozoa completely and eco-friendliness to generate no harmful DBPs including carcinogenetic materials compared to traditional oxidizing and disinfecting agents such as chlorine, ozone, brome chloride, chloramine, and permanganate
As results of test for foot and mouth disease leachate using ClO2, it was identified that 100% of bacteria sterilized after 2 hr and all bad smell was removed completely.
