Hypochlorous acid is one of the most effective known biocides. This weak acid with the chemical name HOCL is the same chemical produced by the human immune system to kill invasive organisms and fight infection.
Our HOCL technology mimics the human immune system by producing hypochlorous acid (HOCL) to combat viruses, bacteria and other microorganisms. Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is naturally present in the white blood cells of the human immune system. It is an important factor used by the human body to kill broad spectrum of microbes and an indispensable active molecule for humans. Its pH value is between 5.0 – 7.0 and it is weak acid, which is very safe for the human skin and body.
iCLEAN360 HOCL is suitable for people of all ages. Hypochlorous acid only needs seconds to purify the epidermis of the skin compare to others which make take minutes to achieve the sterilization effect. It is absolutely healthy and safe, non-toxic and alcohol free, mild and non-irritating, so pregnant women and babies can use it with confidence.
It’s multipurpose usage allows it to be sprayed on the desired surface to be sterilized, such as: hands, body, clothing, toys, mobile phones, tableware, air, toilets, etc. It is recommended to air dry after spraying. If it is urgently needed, it is recommended to dry it with a clean paper towel after sterilization. HOCl is a powerful oxidant that is effective against invading bacteria, fungi, and viruses. HOCl is now used in healthcare, food safety, water treatment, and etc.
When HOCL is sprayed on desired surface, HOCL easily penetrates pathogens cell walls. HOCL either oxidizes the cell walls killing the bacteria or enters through the cell walls and destroys the vital components inside the bacteria. iCLEAN360 HOCL is so gentle it can be used on human skin, yet it’s powerful oxidizing properties can kills 99.99% of pathogens in matter of seconds.
Because its made of HOCL (a chemical compound found in the human body), it’s gentle on us but tough on germs.
The shelf life of HOCL is closely dependent on the process of manufacturing the HOCL itself. Since iCLEAN360 HOCL is made by natural sources, the shelf life is approximately 1 year if it is unopened.
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) has been researched and proven to be effective against many viruses. Please refer to our HOCL page on the disinfectant efficacy of HOCL based on studies and journal. However, based on journal study, HOCL has proven effective in killing Mers, SARS which is also a family of coronavirus. HOCL is also proven to have killed ebola virus which is also a deadly virus.
iCLEAN360 HOCL concentration is 100 ppm. It can be used readily as EPA regulations approve concentration of HOCL up to 200 ppm. For adult hand sanitization and portable personal accessories NO need to dilute.
For cold fogging and ULV Sprayers, it is advised to dilute iCLEAN360 HOCL: Jar WATER at 1:4 (One cup iCLEAN360 HOCL: 4 Cups of Water)
As for food application, FDA have approved up to maximum of 60 ppm. Therefore, it we suggest to dilute iCLEAN360 HOCL: Jar WATER at 1:3 (One cup iCLEAN360 HOCL: 3 cups Jar Water) should you want to soak respective vegetables & fruits for few minutes and rinse off using water at the end before consuming
For Hospital and high-risk environment: it is advised to dilute iCLEAN360 HOCL: Jar WATER at 1:1 (One cup iCLEAN360 HOCL: 1 Cup of Water)
For Childcare / Kids: It is advised to dilute iCLEAN360 HOCL: Jar WATER at 1:4 (One cup iCLEAN360 HOCL: 4 Cup of Water)
The active ingredient in iCLEAN360 HOCL is hypochlorous acid (HOCL). HOCL is a natural product whereby it is incompatible with many man-made chemicals as well as volatile organic compounds that most likely causes skin irritation. Addition of fragrance violates the de-odorizing function of HOCL and causes degradation of the efficacy of the disinfectant. Hence, leaving it to have no function.
HOCL does not change the taste or smell of food when it is used in the concentration that is advised and approved by FDA.
It can last up to 3 to 4 hours when it is sprayed on area of desired surfaces.
The term ‘biodegradable’ refers to substance that are capable of being of being decomposed by bacteria or other living organisms and thereby avoiding pollution. The raw material as well as the process involved is natural and environmental friendly which leads to a natural output. iCLEAN360 HOCL can be claimed as biodegradable of its nature itself. HOCL is naturally produced in white blood cell to combat against microbial. HOCL furthermore is also classified as non-hazardous in accordance to US EPA and FDA.
