Chlorine dioxide (Cl02) is not a new disinfectant; it was discovered in 1811 by Sir Humphry Davy.
This is well known as one of the world's most effective disinfectants. Since the 1950s, it has been mainly used for the treatment of drinking water, and previously on a larger scale only in industries, because Cl02 is a gas by nature.
In 1992, Göran Holmberg at Xinix (Sweden) managed to stabilize it to a liquid state. Over the past 10 years, Xinix has further developed chlorine dioxide products with a long shelf life – now available to everyone.
