The Science Behind PURUS HOCL: A Powerful Disinfectant for Effective Cleaning
PURUS Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) stands as our EPA-certified hospital-grade solution, lauded for its potent disinfectant capabilities and extensive antimicrobial properties. Throughout this article, we delve into the scientific intricacies of HOCL, discuss its mechanism of action, as well as its versatile applications for cleaning and disinfection.
Understanding Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL)
HOCL, naturally synthesized by white blood cells during the immune response to infections, serves a crucial role in pathogen neutralization and wound healing. This weak acid, resulting from the dissolution of chlorine in water, creates a highly reactive oxidizing agent endowed with formidable antimicrobial properties.
Mechanism of Action
HOCL exhibits antimicrobial activity by disrupting the cell membranes of microorganisms, leading to their rapid destruction. It penetrates the cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, causing denaturation of proteins and oxidation of cellular components. This disrupts essential cellular functions and ultimately results in microbial death. Because of this, our PURUS HOCL product kills 99.999% of germs and bacteria in less than 10 seconds.
Advantages of HOCL
Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial Activity: HOCL is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and mold spores. It can eliminate pathogens such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, influenza virus, norovirus, and Candida albicans.
Rapid Killing Action: HOCL acts quickly to neutralize pathogens on surfaces and in the air. It can achieve high levels of microbial reduction within minutes of application, making it ideal for rapid disinfection protocols.
Non-Toxic and Environmentally Friendly: Unlike many chemical disinfectants, HOCL is non-toxic, non-corrosive, and environmentally friendly. It breaks down into harmless byproducts, including water and salt, after disinfection, minimizing environmental impact.
Safe for Use on Food Contact Surfaces: HOCL is recognized as safe by regulatory agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
No Harmful Residue: HOCL does not leave behind harmful residues or chemical odors after disinfection. It provides a residue-free surface that is safe for contact with food, skin, and sensitive materials.
Applications of HOCL in Cleaning and Disinfection
Healthcare Facilities: HOCL is used to disinfect medical equipment, surfaces, and patient care areas in hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities. It helps prevent healthcare-associated infections and ensures a safe environment for patients and healthcare workers.
Food Processing: HOCL is employed in food processing facilities to sanitize equipment, food contact surfaces, and processing environments. It helps control microbial contamination and ensures the safety and quality of food products.
Hospitality Industry: HOCL is utilized in hotels, restaurants, and catering services to disinfect guest rooms, dining areas, kitchens, and food preparation areas. It helps maintain cleanliness and hygiene standards to protect guests and staff.
Public Transportation: HOCL is applied to disinfect buses, trains, airplanes, and other modes of public transportation. It helps reduce the transmission of infectious diseases and ensures passenger safety during travel.
