Introduction
Many people claim that they can also get stable Clo2 in the market. However, all of these are based on “traditional” chlorine dioxide formulations. However, only the chlorine dioxide produced by TwinOxide® T3000 has a patented formula that uses chlorine dioxide molecules for biocidal effects. It does not produce by-products that cause harm to the human body by releasing harmful carcinogens.
Why is TwinOxide® T3000 Different?
Why is TwinOxide® T3000 different? Because traditional chlorine and chlorine-based disinfectants (such as sodium hypochlorite, calcium hypochlorite, etc.) mixed with water will produce so-called “free chlorine”. This dangerous free chlorine (also called hypochlorous acid) is a biocidal component that has a killing effect on bacteria. In contrast, TwinOxide® T3000 uses a safe bactericidal ingredient, chlorine dioxide. When using TwinOxide® T3000 solution, chlorine dioxide itself has a bactericidal effect and can kill all bacteria, algae, fungi, protozoa, yeast, methanogens and virus. Although chlorine can be found in the name, it is not a chlorine-based disinfectant, and it does not release free chlorine (hypochlorous acid) provide sterilization. This is a patented formula we like to call it a hybrid version of chlorine. Carbon dioxide without by-products.
Technical Data
The TwinOxide® disinfection proposition features a two‐component powder kit comprising TwinOxide® component A and TwinOxide® Component B, that after being added to a designated volume of water, react into a chlorine dioxide (ClO2) solution with a 30 days’ stability and a concentration of 0.3% (3000 ppm). When used as directed, this dual powder, chlorine dioxide‐ generating product is proven effective as: disinfectant, deodorizer, fungistat, mildewstat, algaestat and sanitizer.
Specifications
The TwinOxide® Components A and B serve as precursors for a well‐considered and multiple‐ approved method for the generation of chlorine dioxide in an aqueous solution.
The main ingredient of TwinOxide® Component A is sodium chlorite (NaClO2, CAS Number: 7758‐19‐ 2), a white odourless powder without any apparent impurities. This substance is in compliance with the chemical purity and quality specifications and requirements as defined in the European product standard DIN EN 938.
The main ingredient of TwinOxide® Component B is sodium bisulphate (NaHSO4, CAS Number: 7681‐ 38‐1), a white, odourless granulate without any apparent impurities. This substance is in compliance with the chemical purity and quality specifications and requirements as defined in the European product standard DIN EN 16037.
The generated TwinOxide® 0.3% solution (chlorine dioxide in an aqueous, yellow solution with a concentration of 0.3%) is used for disinfection of water in various applications that include potable water.

- Some Key Advantages of TwinOxide® T3000
As a disinfectant and oxidant, it is more powerful than chlorine or hydrogen peroxide:
- At least 2 to 6 times more effective than chlorine
- 7 times more effective than sodium hypochlorite
- 7 times more effective than hydrogen peroxide
- Working in a wide pH range of 4-10
- The form of diluted solution is reliable and safe
- Tasteless and tasteless at the user level
- Easy to use and versatile
- It is safe for the environment, so leakage and disposal are easy to manage
- The entire water supply system has long-lasting residual disinfection capacity (up to 72 hours, chlorine-based products can only last 2-6 hours)
- Stronger, effective and faster disinfection capacity
- Extensive dynamic period (> 30 days)
