Difference between chlorine dioxide and sodium hypochlorite
"Sodium hypochlorite" is known as a liquid agent that has disinfection and deodorizing effects. There are the following differences from stabilized chlorine dioxide.
| Stabilized chlorine dioxide | Sodium hypochlorite |
|
by oxygen atoms contained in free chlorine dioxide By oxidation action, it demonstrates the effect of disinfection, deodorization, etc. |
It demonstrates the effect of sterilization, deodorization, etc. by the oxidation action of hypochlorous acid. Some chlorine reactions (chlorination) also occur. |
|
If activation (free chlorine dioxide by adding acid, etc.) is not performed, the effect is weak. However, once activated, the effect does not decrease even if it is alkaline. |
The effect is weak in alkalinity. |
| Trihalomethane is not produced. | It produces harmful compounds such as trihalomethane. |
| The effect hardly decreases even if ammonia and various organic matter are included. |
The effect weakens by reacting with ammonia and various organic matter. Or it disappears. |
|
Long-term preservation is good (Quality assurance period 1 year) |
Not good for long-term storage (Large concentration decrease) |
|
Compared to sodium hypochlorite, Handling is relatively easy. |
The raw liquid is strongly alkaline, Odors also require strong attention to handling. |
| It is more expensive than sodium hypochlorite. | The price is inexpensive. |
