Frequently Asked Questions
How are your products different from other chlorine dioxide?
SMTs ultra-pure ClO₂ is generated via our patented membrane system. A proprietary membrane contains the precursor chemistry necessary to generate chlorine dioxide. When that “micro-reactor” is added to water, the membrane allows only water vapor to pass through. That water vapor condenses inside the reactor and fuels the chemical reaction, which creates the ClO₂ gas molecule. Only that gas molecule is allowed to pass out of the micro-reactor into the water, which gives us a 99.9% pure solution with a neutral pH.
Are you products EPA-registered?
Yes, our Selectrocide line of products have been tested according to current guidelines, and results verified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency. Our product is classified as a hospital disinfectant, which can also be used to sanitize and deodorize.
Are you products organic?
Yes, many of our products have been reviewed by the Organic Materials Review Institute, or OMRI, according the National Organic Program guidelines. Our products can be used for a variety of applications in the manufacture of organic products.
