Unique in Nature - Selective Oxidation

Creating the oxidation required to kill bacteria, viruses, mold and mildew can involve strong chemicals like chlorine bleach that may trigger health problems and may be linked to cancer. The disinfectant used by BioShield contains a special form of chlorine dioxide combined with other agents to selectively oxidize harmful organisms. The unique composition is an ecologically sound alternative that is colorless, low odor and will not harm hard or soft surfaces, colorfast fabrics, or skin.

The Environmentally Sound Alternative to Chlorine Bleach

Although chlorine dioxide (ClO2) has chlorine in its name, its chemistry is radically different from that of chlorine itself. Technically speaking, both chlorine and ClO2 are oxidizing agents. Yet these fundamentally different chemistries react in distinct ways with organic compounds, resulting in a very different by-product.

While chlorine produces harmful by-products (THM) trihalomethanes and (HAAS) haloacetic acids, which are linked to cancer, chlorine dioxide does not. ClO2 is not a metabolic toxin and will not aid in developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.

The History

Chlorine dioxide has been recognized for its powerful disinfecting properties since the early 1900s. It is used by municipalities to purify drinking water. Environmentalists now recommend its use in eco-friendly paper production.

The Breakthrough

BioShield Services uses a unique and super effective, ecologically sound cleaner & odor eliminator, with proven broad-spectrum anti-microbial action. It does not mask odors such as tobacco smoke & pet urine, but eliminates them on a molecular level. In addition, it is also certified by the NSF as a 60 second Food Contact Sanitizer with no rinse required. Non-irritating to skin and non-corrosive to treated articles, BioShield Services only the most effective EPA registered hospital grade disinfectant cleaner.
