Sanalia is made with more than 80% hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and is a powerful disinfectant. Upon reacting chlorine with water, 3 compounds are produced: chlorine gas (Cl2), hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and hypochlorite (OCl-). Of these, hypochlorous acid and hypochlorite display disinfecting effects and are called "free available chlorine". Hypochlorous acid’s disinfecting power is particularly strong―about 80x stronger than hypochlorite. In one US EPA test, hypochlorous acid took only 1 minute to eradicate E. coli while hypochlorite required 80 minutes. This shows that hypochlorous acid has 80 times the disinfecting power of hypochlorite.
Sanalia is a very safe product without the strong odor, hazards, or skin irritation of sodium hypochlorite which is generally used. Furthermore, it has very strong disinfecting power and is in no way inferior to sodium hypochlorite. Although "hypochlorous acid" and "sodium hypochlorite" have very similar names, these materials have entirely different properties.
Test bacteria | Number of bacteria per mL | |
---|---|---|
Start | After 1 minute | |
Norovirus alternate test (feline calicivirus) |
6.5 | <1.5 |
E. coli(O-157117) | 1.9x104 | <10 |
Clostridium botulinum | 6.3x105 | <10 |
Trichophyton fungus | 7.6x105 | <10 |
Influenza | 2.1x106 | <10 |
In the E. coli disinfection experiment, the bacteria are eradicated 1 minute after being sprayed and thereafter they do not regenerate. The test also shows that the spray has immediate and powerful antibacterial effects on other bacteria which are harmful to humans.
