Sourcing Chlorine Dioxide technology? ChemicalDekho connects you with specialized water treatment companies. Access stabilized solutions and 2-part generation kits for safe, high-level disinfection.
Chlorine Dioxide (CAS 10049-04-4) is superior to Chlorine because it kills biofilm, spores, and viruses without forming carcinogenic Trihalomethanes (THMs). It is widely used in hospital water systems (Legionella control), food processing (fruit washing), and municipal water treatment. Because pure ClO2 gas is explosive, it is sold as 'Stabilized' liquid or 'Powder Kits' that generate the chemical when mixed.
Listings cover safe-to-transport precursors (Sodium Chlorite + Acid) and ready-to-use stabilized solutions.

Contact with acid liberates Chlorine Dioxide gas, which is toxic if inhaled in high concentrations. Combustible materials contaminated with solution may burn vigorously when dry.
No. Bleach is Chlorine (Hypochlorite). Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is chemically different. It is 2.5x stronger than bleach but less corrosive and does not produce cancer-causing byproducts.
Pure ClO2 gas is unstable and cannot be transported in tanks. It must be generated at the point of use by mixing Sodium Chlorite (Part A) with an Acid (Part B).
Yes, it is approved by WHO and BIS for drinking water disinfection because it leaves no bad taste and kills Cryptosporidium/Giardia which chlorine cannot kill.
The *pure gas* can explode at high concentrations. However, the liquid solutions and kits sold commercially are formulated to be safe and non-explosive.
