Bacteria Killing Activon Technology
The Mechanism of Action
Mechanism of Bacteria Kill Activon Technology begins with an advanced molecule offering extremely versatile benefits. These include:
- Mild pH delivers non-irritating skin contact
- Effective odor control
- EPA labeled for use in many applications including food and beverage handling equipment (Please contact us for all uses)
- Concentrated tablet form eliminates excessive storage and handling burdens
Best of all, one easy-to-use product can simplify a variety of sanitation and bio-security needs. The HOCl molecule is key to the product's demonstrated exceptional killing power against a wide range of harmful organisms. This molecule bears no positive or negative charge and, unlike the negatively charged OCl- ions produced by chlorous acid/chlorine dioxide treatments or OI-ions produced by iodine treatments, it is not repelled by negatively charged bacterial cell walls. The molecule easily penetrates microorganisms but does not easily penetrate animal and human skin cells. Then, HOCl molecules within the microorganism deactivate the cell's primary energy-producing source, resulting in rapid cell death.
Hypochlorous-based (HOCI) Activon penetrates the
microorganism and quickly eliminates the
enzyme's energy source.
