About SANTAB
​
SANTAB is an effervescent tablet that when dissolved in 10 L water forms a stable solution of Hypochlorous Acid (HOCI) at a pH of 6.0 to 6.5 and a minimum concentration of 180 ppm.
HYPOCHLOROUS ACID
​
What is Hypochlorous acid?
​
-
HOCI is the scientific formula for hypochlorous acid, a weak acid which exist in the 3-7.5pH range.
-
HOCI is made naturally by white blood cells in all mammals for healing and protection.
-
HOCI is a powerful oxidant that is effective against invading bacteria, fungi, spores and viruses.
-
Generating HOCI by running electricity through a solution of saltwater was discovered in the 1970s.
-
HOCI is now used in healthcare, food safety, water treatment, and general sanitation.
HYPOCHLOROUS ACID AS A SANITIZER
Hypochlorous acid (130ppm) is proven to be more effective at killing coronavirus than other disinfectants.
Comparison Conclusion
Hypochlorous Acid at a dilution of 130ppm demonstrates an effectiveness greater than that of alcohol at 80% (800 000 ppm) at 1 minute and is more effective than sodium hypochlorite (Bleach) at 10 000ppm at 5 minutes
How was Hypochlorous acid traditionally made?
History of Electrolysis
Michael Faraday founded the laws of electrolysis and it became commercially available in the 1870s.
Generating HOCI from the electro-chemical activation (ECA) of salt water was developed in the 1970s.
Early ECA technology used membranes to force saltwater into two solutions of HOCI and NaOH.
In the 1980s, single stream systems were developed that produced one solution of HOCI without byproduct.
In recent, single stream systems have been innovated to last longer and generate more stable solutions
HOW DO WE MAKE HYPOCHLOROUS ACID?
1 x Atom Plus 6g tablet in 10 L tap water!
That's all. No expensive capital electrical equipment, no brine tanks and dangerous byproducts.
Atom Plus remains stable in tablet form for up to 5 years until ready to use, once dissolved will remain active for 10 days before it should be discarded.
There is no transportation of heavy and bulky product containers, no storage issues. Atom Plus is dispensed perfectly and accurately every time!
HYPOCHLOROUS ACID VS. SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE (CHLORINE BLEACH)
Why is HOCl more efficient at killing pathogens than other products?
​
Hypochlorite ion carries a negative electrical charge, while hypochlorous acid carries no electrical charge. The hypochlorous acid moves quickly, able to oxidize the bacteria in a matter of seconds, while the hypochlorite ion might take up to a half hour to do the same.
Germ surfaces carry a negative electrical charge which results in a repulsion of the negatively charged hypochlorite ion to the area of the germ surfaces, making hypochlorite ion less effective at killing germs.
The ratio of the two compounds is determined by the relative acidity (pH) of the water. Water treatment specialists can adjust the pH level to make hypochlorous acid more dominate, as it is more efficient at killing bacteria. The hypochlorous acid's lack of electrical charge allows it to more efficiently penetrate the protective barriers surrounding germs.
