AHSI is a nano molecular disinfectant of organic origin whose active ingredient is hypochlorous acid, which is also created by our white blood cells to combat infections. It has a neutral pH and eliminates any microorganisms present on any surface where it is applied. The equipment used is state-of-the-art, allowing it to be stable without stabilizing additives or carcinogens.
Hypochlorous acid is a 100% safe disinfectant with no danger to people, animals, or food. It can be used on walls, floors, and ceiling surfaces; to disinfect equipment and utensils, transport vehicles, schools, offices, gyms, warehouses, food contact surfaces, high-traffic pedestrian areas, bodies of water, cooling towers, pools, etc.
In the past 30 years, more than 300 published research articles have supported the use of electrolyzed oxidizing water. Almost all common bacterial pathogens, such as E. coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Vibrio, Staphylococcus, MRSA, spore-forming bacteria, and many common viruses (including norovirus) and fungi have been studied.
The hypochlorite ion has a negative electric charge, while hypochlorous acid has no electric charge. HClO moves quickly and can oxidize bacteria in seconds, whereas the hypochlorite ion can take up to half an hour to do so. Surfaces with germs have a negative electric charge, which results in repelling the negatively charged hypochlorite ion from the affected area, making hypochlorite (chlorine) much less efficient at killing germs. The effectiveness of each compound is determined by the relative acidity (pH) of the water. Water treatment specialists can adjust the pH level to make HClO more dominant and more efficient at killing germs. The lack of an electric charge in hypochlorous acid (HClO) allows it to penetrate more efficiently the barriers that protect germs.
Electrolyzed water is generated from water, salt, and electricity. The process is called electrolysis and involves applying a direct electric current (DC) through a pair of electrodes submerged in an ion solution to drive a chemical reaction that would otherwise not be spontaneous. The key process is the removal or addition of electrons and thus a change in the oxidation-reduction potential of the solution.
