COMPARISION OF OUR PATHOCIDAL OVER OTHER AVAILABLE DISINFECTANTS
| DISINFECTANT | DESCRIPTION | LIMITATIONS |
|---|---|---|
| Chlorine | Used in a gaseous state, requires strictest safety measures |
• Strict requirements for transportation and storage • Potential danger for health in case of a leak. • Formation of disinfection by-products, such as chloroform, trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs), are both carcinogenic in large quantities and are regulated by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Drinking Water Inspectorate in the UK. Although chlorine is effective in killing bacteria, it has limited effectiveness against pathogenic protozoa that form cysts in water such as Giardia lamblia |
| Hypochlorite | Used in liquid and granulated forms (trade concentration - 10-20%), can be obtained on site, electrochemically |
• Ineffective against cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) • Loses its activity during long-term storage • Forms trihalomethane. When on-site generated, requires either immediate use or, in case of storage, special measures to purify the initial water from heavy metals ions. When on-site generated, NaCIO solution with the active chlorine concentration more than 450 mg/l form chlorates during storage • Sodium hypochlorite is a dangerous and corrosive substance. • While working with sodium hypochlorite, safety measures have to be taken to protect workers and the environment. • can cause acute respiratory effects • Sodium hypochlorite should not come in contact with air, because that will cause it to disintegrate |
| Chlorine dioxide | On-site generation only. The most effective disinfectant and strongest oxidation agent among all chlorine-containing ones |
• On-site generation only • Requires transportation and storage of chemicals • In reaction with organic impurities forms nonorganic by-products • Forms chlorates and chlorite ions • chlorine dioxide gas accumulations may spontaneously detonate. |
| Chloramine | Formed during the reaction of ammonium with active chlorine. It is used as a disinfectant of a prolonged activity |
• Weak disinfectant and oxidation agent compared to chlorine • Not effective against viruses and cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) • Considerable dosages and prolonged contact time are required for disinfection • Dangerous for patients using dialyzers, because it is capable of penetrating the dialyzer membrane and effect erythrocytes • Forms nitrogen-containing by-products • Water distribution systems disinfected with chloramines may experience nitrification, as ammonia is a nutrient for bacterial growth, with nitrates being generated as a by-product. |
| Ozone | Has been used for several decades in some of European countries for the purpose of disinfection, elimination of color, for the taste and odor control |
• Forms byproducts, including: aldehydes, ketones, organic acids, bromine-containing trihalomethanes, (bromoform inclusive), bromates (in presence of bromides): peroxides, brom-acetic acid • Necessitates the use of biologically active filters to remove byproducts • Does not ensure residual disinfection effect • Requires significant initial expenses for the equipment • Considerable expenses for operators` training and installation support • When reacting with organic compounds, ozone disintegrates them into smaller components, which could become a feeding media for microorganisms` growth in water distribution systems |
| Ultraviolet | Exposure of water to UV rays capable of killing various types of microorganisms |
• No residual effect • Not efficient against cysts (Giardia, Cryptosporidium) • Requires considerable expenses for the equipment and technical maintenance • Requires considerable operational (power) expenses • Disinfection activity depends on the water turbidity, its hardness (sediments on the bulb surface), precipitation of organic impurities on the bulb surface, and deviations in the power supply, which effect the wavelength variation |
| Alcohol based disinfectant | It is mainly used as sanitising liquid with composition of ethyl or isopropyl alcohol |
• Should be stored from out of reach of children, alcohol toxicity can lead to poisoning and even death • When used too frequently, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can wash away your skin’s natural oils, which can cause drying and cracking. Dehydrated skin can be unattractive and irritating, and it is likely to cause one or more of the following symptoms, Itching, Slight to severe flaking, scaling, or peeling, Fine lines or cracks • alcohol-based hand sanitizers are classified as Class I Flammable Liquid substances, which means they have a flashpoint of less than 100 degrees Fahrenheit”. OSHA has specific guidelines regarding the storage and use of these flammable liquids. |
| Formaldehyde | - |
• extremely pungent and suffocating odour • skin and mucous membrane irritant • can cause allergic dermatitis |
| Quaternary Ammonium Compounds | - |
• Decreased activity against Gram (-) microbes • Lack tuberculocidal properties • No sporicidal activity • Poor activity against hydrophilic viruses • Poor activity against pseudomonads • Development of resistant bacterial strains • Not effective against all nosocomial infections • Incompatible with soaps • Substantial interference by organic matter • Inactivated by stoppers, gauze, cotton, etc. • Reports of contact dermatitis |
The Pathocidalpossess the advantages of other biocidal alternatives without their above mentioned disadvantages.
Pathocidal is a mixed-oxidant solution having ORP +700mv to +1000mv with major constituent Hypochlorous. It exhibits behavioural traits associated with a more active chlor-oxygen chemistry than traditional chlorine. In contrast to other disinfectant technologies, mixed oxidants Pathocidal offer superior disinfection efficacy against all known pathogens in world. It effectively eliminates biofilm in drinking water and other water bodies, It does not produce any byproducts. It is very mild to humans and animals, does not cause any sideffects when applied. It can be applied on any surfaces (like Stainless steel, rubber, wood etc..)
