Why Selectrocide® is the Most Advanced Chlorine Dioxide Solution on the Market

Why Selectrocide® is the Most Advanced Chlorine Dioxide Solution on the Market

When it comes to chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) disinfection, not all solutions are created equal. Many products claim to deliver “pure” ClO₂, but the truth lies in the chemistry—and the results. Selectrocide® from Selective Micro Technologies delivers generator-level performance without the cost, complexity, or safety risks of traditional methods.

Our patented micro-reactor technology is the reason we can confidently say: no other chlorine dioxide product matches our purity, safety, or regulatory profile. This is The Selective Micro Difference.

The Technology That Sets Us Apart

At the heart of Selectrocide® is SMT’s patented membrane micro-reactor technology. This unique system generates true chlorine dioxide at the point of use, using a precisely controlled process that’s fundamentally different from traditional methods.

Instead of relying on bulky generators or unstable chemical mixes, our sealed micro-reactor produces over 99.99999% pure ClO₂—portable, safe, and ready for use anywhere. Just add water. That’s The Selective Micro Difference.

 

Understanding the Alternatives

1. “Stabilized” Chlorine Dioxide

Despite the name, stabilized ClO₂ isn’t actually chlorine dioxide—it’s a mix of precursor chemicals that releases only a small amount of ClO₂ when activated.

  • Low Purity: 7%–30% actual ClO₂
  • Highly Acidic: pH 2–4, corrosive to equipment and unsafe for sensitive surfaces
  • Byproducts: Leaves behind unwanted residual salts and chemicals

 

2. Large-Scale ClO₂ Generators

Generators produce higher purity ClO₂, but come with trade-offs:

  • Medium Purity: ~70% ClO₂
  • High Cost: Expensive capital equipment and ongoing maintenance
  • Complex Operation: Requires trained personnel and technical oversight
  • Lacks Mobility: Impractical for field use or smaller facilities

 

Why Selectrocide® Wins

Selectrocide® combines the purity of a generator with the simplicity of a portable kit:

  • Ultra-Pure: >99.99999% pure chlorine dioxide
  • Point-of-Use Generation: Fresh, on-demand ClO₂ at full potency — no degradation from storage
  • Safe & Portable: Lightweight and sealed—no raw chemical handling
  • No Harmful Byproducts: Harmless residuals, safe for food contact surfaces, potable water, and sensitive equipment
  • Regulatory Leadership: EPA-registered, FDA-approved, NSF/ANSI certified for drinking water, OMRI Listed® for organic production — the most comprehensive regulatory profile in the chlorine dioxide industry

Proven Benefits in the Field

Selectrocide® isn’t just the purest ClO₂ — it’s delivering measurable improvements across industries:

  • Poultry Biosecurity: Reduces pathogen load in drinking water systems without biofilm buildup
  • Food Processing: Extends shelf life by reducing spoilage organisms without chlorinated byproducts
  • Produce Sanitation: Meets strict microbial reduction targets while protecting surface quality
  • Potable Water Treatment: Maintains compliance with NSF/ANSI 60 standards for safe drinking water
  • Odor Elimination: Neutralizes odors in vehicles and waste facilities without corrosive damage

 

A More Sustainable Approach

Our point-of-use generation reduces environmental impact:

  • No hazardous byproducts or chlorinated organics
  • Lower shipping footprint compared to liquid drums
  • Minimal chemical waste due to exact dosing capability

 

The Selective Micro Difference

Purity, safety, compliance, and portability—backed by the most comprehensive regulatory profile in the chlorine dioxide industry. That’s not just marketing—it’s how we operate, and why our technology is trusted in industries worldwide.

When compliance, safety, and trust matter most — Selectrocide® is the clear choice.
