CloxPur™ Surface Sanitizer

CloxPur^TM is a powerful liquid sanitising solution that is bactericidal, viricidal, fungicidal and sporcidal.

CloxPur^TM is ideal for large scale, localised, hard surface and equipment disinfection.

The increasing incidence of transmission of infection due to poor hand and hard surface hygiene has heightened awareness of the need for effective solutions regarding this type of sanitation in all medical/nursing environments.

This is of paramount importance in the identified “high risk” areas - infection control units, intensive care units and also in the care of patients who are immuno suppressed, such as those who have undergone chemotherapy, transplant surgery or those infected with HIV. The need for an effective solution is not just driven from within the hospital environment, but also from community based medical facilities, the ambulance services and nursing care homes.

In response, Clearwater has introduced a range of products based on Chlorine Dioxide Technology. These products (when used in accordance with manufacturers’ instructions) will eliminate the opportunity for transmission of infection.

Chlorine dioxide is proven technology; it selectively reacts with amino acids. These are the structural and enzymatic components of life. The reactions of chlorine dioxide with aromatic amino acids are responsible for the observed destruction of cellular structural components. Whilst the reactions with the sulphur containing amino acids are responsible for the rapid cell death of the micro-organisms.

In order for enzymes to perform their function as catalysts for biochemical reactions, they must have a particular shape. When the disulphide bonds are broken (oxidised by the chlorine dioxide), the shape is affected and the enzyme loses its specificity, causing loss of that particular biological function. This simultaneous loss of respiration, metabolism, cellular repair, and cell component synthesis is rapidly fatal for the invading pathogen.
