Biox 5000 Broad Spectrum Biocide

DESCRIPTION

Biox 5000 is a liquid, stabilised Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2).  It is a broad spectrum biocide which is bactericidal, fungicidal, sporicidal, viricidal and algaecidal.

Although “chlorine” appears  in the name chlorine dioxide, harmful chlorine is not involved in any of the environmentally friendly Chlorine Dioxide reaction pathways.  Chlorine Dioxide and Sodium Chlorite (precursor) are strictly oxidants, like other pure oxidants where oxidation occurs, not halogenation.

Chlorine Dioxide is a true dissolved gas in solution.

USES AS A BROAD SPECTRUM OXIDIZING BIOCIDE

* Ground sanitation
* Roots sanitisation
* Planting of cuttings and seedlings
* Sanitation of growing materials, eg. Perlite, vermiculite, peat
* Leaf and fruit surface sanitation
* Treatment of algae on wet walls
* Hard surface sanitation
* Water sanitation
* Hydroponics
* Surface sterilisation of bulbs, tubers and seeds
* Washing fruit and vegetables
* Biofilm removal from water contact surfaces, e.g. irrigation lines, drip systems, centre pivots, etc

*   Food and Beverage Sanitation – wash and flume water sanitization for fruits and

     Vegetables

*   CIP and COP – Processing equipment, floors, walls, crates etc.

*   Potable water sanitation

*   Cold Storage sanitation

*   Hydro coolers sanitation

*   Evaporative Coolers sanitation

*   Foot baths sanitation

*   Misting sanitation

*   Disinfection and deoderisation of drains, etc - all hard surfaces

*   Lowers BOD/COD in process water

Chlorine Dioxide is used worldwide in Breweries, Dairies, Poultry and Fish Processing Plants, Abattoirs, Cooling Towers, Effluent water treatment etc. as the Biocide of choice.

Chlorine Dioxide is environmentally friendly and leaves no residue on produce and/or surfaces.

Biox 5000 conforms to SABS 1853 “disinfectants and detergent disinfectants for use in the food industry”.  Reg No:  Act 5GNR529/271983/070/0083 and is Eurep Gap Compliant – Cologne 19 January 2007.
