Chlorine dioxide

[Chemical name]
Chlorine dioxide disinfectant
Molecular formula: CIO₂
Molecular weight: 67.46
Appearance: white tablets, powder, yellow-green solution

[Product Uses]
Chlorine dioxide acts as an oxidant, deodorant, biocide, preservative, bleach, etc.

It is favored by people because of its strong sterilization ability, no harm to humans and animals, and no secondary pollution to the environment. Chlorine dioxide is not only a broad-spectrum environmentally friendly bactericidal disinfectant that does not produce carcinogens, but also shows significant effects in sterilization, food preservation, deodorization, etc. Chlorine dioxide can also be used for bleaching, such as textile and papermaking components. Chlorine dioxide can be used instead of chlorine bleach.
