NaDCC Tablet benefits
Unique Properties & Equilibrium Effect of NaDCC
- Dissolves in water to release HOCl – measured as available chlorine
- 50% of the total available chlorine exists as free available chlorine, the remainder is bound chlorine (NaDCC)
- In the absence of organic or microbial challenge, the ratio of free and bound available chlorine is approx. 50:50
- As free available chlorine is used up (e.g. organic matter, microorganisms etc.) the balance is disturbed -NaDCC releases available chlorine to restore chemical equilibrium to continue the disinfecting process.
In contrast, bleach and other hypochlorites exist mostly as free chlorine and do not possess a reservoir. In comparison with bleach, NaDCC possesses a reserve killing power that continues to be made available long after contact with microbes and organic material
More stable, longer shelf life
Lasts longer, goes further, less waste
- Longer shelf life before dilution than bleach – 2 – 5 years compared to 12 months for bleach
- NaDCC (sodium troclosene) retains killing power due to a 50:50 chemical equilibrium that continues to generate chlorine to replace that which is being used up in the process of destroying microorganisms or contact with organic loads. This means that it is not inactivated by dirt/cloths/organic matter as occurs with bleach.
