What makes FreeBact different from traditional disinfection?

✅ Documented effectiveness against ALL bacteria, viruses and fungi
✅ Documented powerful effect against biofilm
✅ 5 times more effective than chlorine-based solutions
✅ 3 times more effective than alcohol-based solutions
✅ Water-based solutions
✅ For water and surfaces, in product-specific formulations
✅ Laboratory tests and real-world references
✅ Natural color indicator, the yellow color of chlorine dioxide fades as the concentration decreases.

Good to know: Chlorine dioxide is not yet as well known as traditional alternatives.

✅ Established and effective method for disinfecting water and surfaces.

❌ Leaves a noticeable taste and odor in drinking water.
❌ Turbid water should be filtered or allowed to settle before chlorination to ensure effective disinfection.
❌ Typically requires at least 30 minutes of contact time for household drinking water disinfection.
❌ Disinfection effectiveness is affected by the water's pH.
❌ Can form chlorinated disinfection byproducts, such as trihalomethanes (THMs).
❌ Limited effectiveness against Cryptosporidium at normal dosages and contact times.

✅ Effective against many bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses.

❌ Flammable.
❌ May dry out the skin with repeated use, especially without moisturizing additives.
❌ Limited or variable effectiveness against certain non-enveloped viruses, such as norovirus.
❌ Ineffective against bacterial spores under normal use.
❌ Evaporates quickly, which can make it difficult to achieve sufficient contact time.

✅ Certain clover extracts have shown antibacterial activity in laboratory studies.

❌ The results are affected by the extraction method and concentration.
❌ Laboratory results do not automatically indicate effectiveness in the practical disinfection of water and surfaces.
❌ The cited study examined bacteria, not viruses or fungi.
❌ The study does not provide sufficient support for use in drinking water disinfection.

✅ Silver has documented antimicrobial properties, particularly against certain bacteria.

❌ WHO does not recommend silver as a method for disinfecting drinking water.
❌ The effect may require a long contact time compared to established disinfectants.
❌ Insufficient documentation for reliable inactivation of viruses and parasites in drinking water.
❌ Prolonged intake of colloidal silver can cause argyria, a permanent purple skin discoloration.

✅ Documented effectiveness against many bacteria, viruses, and fungi at the correct concentration.

❌ Effectiveness is highly dependent on concentration, formulation, and contact time.
❌ Bacterial spores may require higher concentrations or longer treatment times.
❌ Concentrated solutions require special safety handling and checks for material compatibility.
❌ Insufficient evidence to recommend low-dose hydrogen peroxide treatment as a general method for drinking water disinfection in the field.

✅ Powerful oxidation method with documented effectiveness against bacteria, viruses, and parasites in controlled water treatment.

❌ Provides no residual disinfection effect in the distribution network.
❌ Requires special equipment for production and controlled dosing on site.
❌ Can form bromate in water containing bromide.
❌ Ozone in the air can irritate and damage the respiratory tract, requiring strict safety measures.

✅ Effective against many bacteria, fungi, and enveloped viruses.

❌ Generally limited effectiveness against non-enveloped viruses.
❌ Lacks sufficient effectiveness against bacterial spores.
❌ Effectiveness may be reduced upon contact with certain cleaning materials and hard water.
❌ Used primarily for surface disinfection, not for disinfecting drinking water.

There is no single method that is optimal for all environments and applications. The choice is influenced by factors such as the microorganisms to be controlled, available contact time, materials, water quality, and applicable safety requirements.

FreeBact® is based on chlorine dioxide and has a documented effect in a wide range of applications. Through our laboratory tests and practical references, we demonstrate how the technology can be used for the disinfection of both water and surfaces.
