4 Reasons To Get HOCL Electrostatic Sprayer Disinfection

HOCL is a Medical Mainstay 

Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) is an organic substance that our white blood cells naturally create to fight bacteria, irritation, and bodily injury. Today, HOCL is one of the only non-toxic cleaning agents available, but it's still lethal to the most dangerous bacteria and viruses, including SARS-CoV-2. HOCL is one hundred percent safe for humans and chemical-free. It was used as far back as WWI to rinse and disinfect wounds, and hospitals still use it for this purpose. HOCL remains a favorite of dermatologists, dental offices, daycare centers, hospitals, cruise lines, and even produce sections in grocery stores. 

EPA Approved for Electrostatic Sprayers

HOCL is an ingredient on the EPA's official N list of approved disinfectants effective against the coronavirus. While not all listings have approval for use in electrostatic sprayers, ours does. The difference in benefits depends on the HOCL concentration, with higher concentrations appropriate for disinfection. Tests have found that a spray of 200 ppm hypochlorous acid solution killed the virus after just five minutes of contact. HOCl can be applied with a fogger, without any chemical-related PPE for workers.

Superior "Safe & Green" Disinfection Coverage

HOCL, when used with the latest electrostatic sprayers, offers excellent disinfection coverage due to increased beading of solution (adherence), which means less solution and time needed. Typically, full surface disinfection occurs within five minutes. If there is considerable residue on a surface, we recommend first wipe the surface with a HOCL solution before using an electrostatic spray. Bacteria and viruses can live in sediment even after electrostatic spraying, and this is a proper precaution to ensure full disinfection.  

A HOCL solution is safe to touch and breathe as it is a non-irritant, and the human body produces the same molecule for self-defense. It is so safe to inhale that it is being evaluated as a treatment for throat and lung infections. 

While there is legitimate concern over harmful disinfectants remaining airborne when used as part of an electrostatic treatment, a HOCL disinfecting solution treatment is harmless. It is excellent for cleaning eating areas, food processing equipment, prep surfaces, and dishes. It can be used in every compartment and on every surface, including upholstery, which can easily be damaged when using traditional "heavy-duty" chemical sanitizing agents. 

HOCL also provides many versatile uses. HOCL is fantastic for fighting acne and skin infections such as eczema, rosacea, and psoriasis, reducing skin conditions exacerbated by wearing masks, speeding up wound healing, and cleaning food itself, including fish, seafood, raw fruits, and vegetables. 

HOCL Ideal for Repeated Use

We are still required to disinfect repeatedly, and using an EPA approved HOCL solution for electrostatic sprayers remains ideal. By keeping surfaces clean using non-toxic HOCL, we increase our chances of not contracting a virus such as SARS-CoV-2 and experiencing harmful side effects from otherwise harmful disinfectant chemicals. 

While we need to stay vigilant in our actions of washing hands, wearing masks, and social distancing, electrostatic spraying with a HOCL solution approved by the EPA helps keep us safe in the "New Normal." Our public spaces typically need to be disinfected daily, and areas like schools, childcare facilities, offices, churches, and apartment buildings can have disinfected surfaces without short and long-term health impacts.
