Frequently Asked Questions/Knowledge Base

IF THERE IS NO ALCOHOL, HOW DOES HYDRO-E KILL BACTERIA, AND GERMS?

Hydro-E utilizes HOCL (Hypochlorous acid) which is a natural enzyme in our white blood cells that specifically seek out invading harmful microorganisms and Sanities 99.99%.  HOCL is purpose made for the job of disinfection and sanitising by nature.

Utilising our scientific patent, Hydro-E can replicate and concentrate HOCL and its effects into a much safer sanitiser alternative than others on the market, all whilst having the same, if not better effectiveness.

 

 

ISN’T ACID ALSO DANGEROUS?

In high concentrations, acid is a corrosive substance, however within Hydro-E HOCL solution, the concentration is only between 30ppm to 80ppm (parts per million).

Hydro-E is more than 99% distilled water and less than 0.89~0.95% HCL(compared to 75% alcohol in most sanitisers) and carries a pH rating of 6.5 considered neutral. Hydro-E is classified as a non-hazardous substance (non-corrosive, non-toxic, non-flammable).

 

 

HOW IS Hydro-E SANITISER DIFFERENT TO ALCOHOL SANITISER, AND WHY SHOULD I CARE?

When you apply alcohol to a substance or surface, it may eats away at everything without prejudice, meaning that it may not just attack the bacteria, but it will also corrode skin or whatever surface it is applied to.

Also, we must not forget that alcohol is highly flammable and corrosive (and toxic at 70% or more).

HOCL on the other hand replicates the natural enzyme in our white blood cells that specifically seek out and eliminate bacteria and fungi. Since HOCL liquid is more than 99% Electrolyzed water, it doesn’t carry the corrosive.

 

  

I HAVE ALLERGIES, CAN I USE Hydro-E HOCL?

Yes, you can. HOCL is a naturally occurring enzyme of our body’s immune system (within the white blood cells). HOCL is one of the building blocks of the human body.

 

CAN I USE Hydro-E HOCL ON SURFACES?

Yes, Hydro-E HOCL is listed as Hospital Grade Disinfectant and Antibacterial.

The advantage Hydro-E has is that it is pH 6.5, meaning it won't eat away at the fabric, or hard surfaces the way bleach and alcohol do. It can also disinfect bacteria, and germs, and HOCL is used for commercial applications like fogging dispersal, ride-on floor hard surface cleaners, and building entry misting.


 

WHAT CERTIFICATIONS DOES HYDRO-E HOCL HOLD?

In Australia, Hydro-E Holds:

  • ARTG, 335971: Hydro-E Hospital Grade Disinfectant

Internationally Hydro-E has over 7 recognised certifications and approvals. Contact us to obtain these.

 

 

 

WHY HAVEN’T I HEARD ABOUT HOCL BEFORE? 

HOCL has been around for approx. 200 years and was developed by Michael Faraday (1830). While being a far superior sanitiser and steriliser, the main issues were:

  • Concentrations were inconsistent
  • The active HOCL  produced only lasted up to 90minutes
  • Because of the above, HOCL was expensive to make since it couldn’t be stored

Hydro-E have circumvented these issues with our scientific patented method of producing long-life HOCL fluid that retains consistency and potency.

Presently HOCL is the disinfectant and sanitiser used in Japan and Korea, and is handling of the 2020 global pandemic. HOCL has only very recently made its way to Australia, and the west in general.

The other reason why it is still rather unknown locally was due to a lack of awareness and preference to alcohol and bleach in lieu of alternatives.


 

 

HOW IS HYDRO-E BETTER THAN TYPICAL HOCL?

Hydro-E is the holder of the patented technology that fortifies the bonding process between HOCL and water. With our patented method, HOCL liquid has consistent ppm and lasts at least 12 months after being manufactured.

Further, Hydro-E can control the ppm, and as a result of this, the pH level of the liquid to stay stable at pH 6.5.


 

 

WHAT APPLICATION(S) IS HYDRO-E HOCL CERTIFIED FOR?

Locally in Australia, it is listed as:

  • Hospital-grade disinfectant

Internationally, the same product has applications that include (but aren’t limited to):

  • Food processing – Sanitising station of meat  processing
  • Agriculture – direct application to crops and plantations (pH 6.5)
  • Industrial coolant – non-corrosive and causes little to no rust
  • Water Treatment
  • Odour Eater

 

 

IF HOCL IS THAT GOOD, WHY ISN’T IT USED MORE?

Long-lasting HOCL liquid is still new to the world and is even newer still to the Australian marketplace. However, in Korea (where the patent comes from) it is the sanitiser and disinfectant used on both a commercial and domestic scale.  The use and application of HOCL in Korea was a key factor in its ability to reduce the effect of the pandemic in 2020 so effectively and enabled them to still hold sporting events and allowed their citizens to move about while much of the rest of the world was in lockdown.

 

  

 

WHERE CAN I PURCHASE HYDRO-E HOCL?

Presently, the only mainstream supply available is via our website, however, we are in regular discussions relating to wholesale opportunities with retailers.
