HYPOGUARD FOR CONSUMERS: 

THE SAFER, MORE POTENT SOLUTION FOR CONSUMERS

Hypochlorous acid is clearly superior to sodium hypochlorite in destroying spores, bacteria, viruses and other pathogenic organisms on a similar residual basis.

Some of the main features are:

• Most pathogens develop resistance to sodium hypochlorite, but not to hypochlorous acid.
• The contact time required is less for hypochlorous acid.
• Sodium hypochlorite loses its activity during storage and poses a potential hazard due to the emission of chlorine gases.
• It dissolves better.
• The bactericidal efficacy of hypochlorous acid remains between pH 4 and 9.
• Hypochlorous acid is barely corrosive mainly due to its low concentration.
• Eliminates scale and pathogens harboured in scale and prevents solids dissolved in water from forming new scale. Eliminates biofilm.
• Hypochlorous acid production by Hypoguard systems does not involve hazardous chemicals or complex maintenance.

Through the process of electrolysis or electrochemical activation, salt water is transformed into hypochlorous acid, a disinfectant that has a high bactericidal, virucidal and fungicidal effectiveness (approximately 10 times stronger than chlorine dioxide) and compared to other common disinfecting substances, it is non-corrosive, non-irritating and non-harmful. The active ingredient in the resulting solution is hypochlorous acid (HOCl), a naturally occurring acid also generated by the human body to fight infections. It acts against pathogens through a process called phagocytosis. Basically, the cell membrane bursts and destroys the DNA, so the virus or bacteria do not generate mutations or growth.
