Ultralox specifications

Low concentration, highly effective colourless biocide

Ultralox40 is an extremely efficacious fast-acting stable biocide (hypochlorus acid or HOCl). HOCl is manufactured naturally by white blood cells (neutrophils) as part of the body’s defence against pathogens. HSG 274 cites “hypochlorus acid (HOCl) the form of chlorine that is most effective as a biocide”. It breaks down biofilm and is highly effective against pathogens and bacteria. Particularly for systems with low and high pressure, high bacteria counts, embedded or systematic biofilm challenges, require repeated flushing and one-off disinfections and therefore have requirements for secondary disinfection.

Small and medium applications

Delivered in 25L, 200L or 1,000L package sizes. Can be dosed into incoming mains or a break tank, via fixed or mobile delivery and control systems that can be purchased or hired. The standard mobile or free-standing skid mounted systems can be retrofitted and are suitable for systems up to 40m3 /day. 200L systems are better suited for 50-60m3 /day requirements.
