How To Generate Selectrocide

Welcome to a closer look at how Selectrocide, our innovative chlorine dioxide disinfectant, is generated on-site, providing cost-effective, efficient, and powerful disinfection solutions. With Selectrocide, you can quickly create gallons of disinfectant right where you need them, saving significant costs in logistics and storage. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to activate and use Selectrocide, highlighting its unique benefits.

Step-by-Step Activation Process

Step 1: Prepare the Package

Upon receiving your Selectrocide package, start by carefully opening it to ensure the integrity of the 5G envelope inside. This envelope contains the precursor to your disinfectant. Remove and discard any desiccant packets included for moisture control.

Step 2: Activate the Solution

To activate Selectrocide, simply immerse the 5G envelope in a container with water. For a solution concentration of 100 parts per million (ppm) chlorine dioxide, use 10 liters of water. It’s essential to use a container that is dark and resistant to oxidation to maintain the quality and effectiveness of the solution. Seal the container tightly after adding the envelope.

Step 3: Allow Time to React

After sealing the container, it’s crucial to wait at least two hours before using the solution. This waiting period ensures that the solution reaches its full strength and effectiveness as the chemical reaction completes.

Step 4: Final Preparations

Once the two-hour reaction time has passed, remove the 5G envelope from the water. Before discarding the envelope, ensure to follow any specific disposal instructions provided. Gently mix the solution to ensure even concentration throughout.

Step 5: Verify Concentration

Before applying the disinfectant, use Selective Micro Chlorine Dioxide Test Strips to verify the solution’s concentration. This step ensures that the disinfectant is at the proper strength for effective use.

Step 6: Ready to Use

Now, your Selectrocide disinfectant is ready for application. Transfer the solution into a spray bottle, backpack sprayer, or any other preferred applicator. Apply as needed across surfaces. Store any unused solution in a dark, oxidation-resistant container, tightly sealed to maintain efficacy.

Economic and Environmental Benefits

Cost-Effective: Selectrocide ships dry in our patented micro reactor envelopes, dramatically reducing shipping costs compared to liquid alternatives. Since it's generated on-site, you also save on storage space and long-term inventory costs.
