provide demand dependent oxidizing properties and sustained
release polishing properties, simultaneously. The result is
safe, extremely effective, broad-spectrum malodor control.
Each technology has a critical role to play.
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2)is an extremely powerful
oxidizing agent. For example, one pound of chlorine dioxide
is equivalent in oxidation power to 3.8 pounds of potassium
permanganate. Because chlorine dioxide reacts selectively
and primarily with only the most offensive odor producing
compounds (hydrogen sulfide [H2S], organic
sulfurs, organic amines, petroleum distilates), PERSNICKETY®
OX PELLETS™ will normally provide a much longer service life
than competitive products such as activated carbon.
Similarly, chlorine dioxide will remain intact longer than
chlorine, hypochlorite, peroxide and permanganate. Unwanted
reactions do not occur. Power is not needlessly spent.
Chlorine dioxide remains available and ready on demand.
In contrast to chlorine and hypochlorite, chlorine dioxide
does not react with ammonia and is not a chlorinating agent.
It typically reacts with organics as an oxidant with no
Trihalomethanes (THMs) or chlorinated by-products formed.
Hydrogen sulfide is rapidly oxidized to inorganic sulfate;
whereas organic sulfides react with chlorine dioxide to form
sulfonyl compounds and oxygen containing by-products, thus
effectively eliminating many odors. When sufficient chlorine
dioxide is used to fully oxidize phenol, the primary
products are converted to respective carboxylic acids.
Primary and secondary amines react very slowly or not at all
with chlorine dioxide, whereas chlorine dioxide will rapidly
oxidize tertiary amines producing a secondary amine and an
aldehyde. Chlorine dioxide has relatively low oxidizing
activity toward olefins. Alcohols and carboxyl compounds
react more slowly to produce carboxylic acids. The breaking
of carbon - carbon bonds is generally not extensive in most
reactions.
This technology protects against the escape of malodors
which can not be oxidized or readily oxidized. It functions
synergistically with the technology to which it is wed.
Countervailant™ technology is highly specialized, complex
and broadly useful chemistry. It incorporates neutralization
technology, but expands considerably beyond it. Polymeric
adsorption is a facet. This involves the building up of
malodor molecules via electrostatic attractions and Van der
Waals forces so that they are not recognized as malodors.
The process of esterification is also incorporated. Acids
and alcohols react to form esters. These esters normally
have a pleasant scent. Countervailant™ technology is
effective in dealing with malodors in both liquid and
gaseous phases.

Care must be taken not to create even larger, more serious
problems in the pursuit of malodor solutions. Many products
in commercial use are toxic, create toxic by-products; are
explosive, flammable, corrosive, damaging to the air, plants
and animals and difficult to dispose of. Disposal is not a
problem with PERSNICKETY® OX PELLETS™. We will do it for
you. Simply retain the original shipping containers. When
the product is spent, reload them and return them to us,
freight pre-paid. We will recycle or dispose of, as
necessary.All chemical products should be
handled with care (review PERSNICKETY® OX PELLETS™ MSDS).
Here are a few key points of
interest concerning chlorine dioxide: |
-
Chlorine dioxide is approved by the EPA for
use as a primary disinfectant in drinking water. It has
shown no adverse effects to human health after several
decades of use.
-
The proprietary chlorine dioxide in
PERSNICKETY® OX PELLETS™ and its precursors are EPA, FDA and
USDA approved for sanitation uses in food and dairy plants.
-
Does not react with water to form
hypochlorus and hydrochloric acid, as does chlorine gas.
The Countervailant™
portion of PERSNICKETY® OX PELLETS™: |
-
Contains only those raw materials listed in
the EPA TSCA Chemical Substances Inventory and in the
European Economic Community Inventory of Chemical
Substances.
-
Is non-explosive and non-flammable. Contains
only non-reactive, stable materials.
WARNING: DO NOT ADD ACIDS OR ANY CHEMICALS
TO PERSNICKETY® OX PELLETS™ OTHER THAN THOSE RECOMMENDED BY
THE MANUFACTURER. THERE IS POTENTIAL FOR DANGEROUS REACTIONS
WITH ClO2.
