| Halogen Disinfectant
|
Chlorine Dioxide has been utilized as a strong disinfectant and is a rapid oxidizing sterilant. Iodophor is used as a sanitizer and skin antiseptics. Both have high oxidizing properties that are important to achieve sterilizing effect. |
- Irritant
- Respiratory Problems
- Bleaching
- Corrosive
|
| Peroxides Disinfectant |
Strong oxidizing ability. Each kind of microorganism is extremely sensitive to it, able to kill all microorganisms. |
- Unstable chemical base makes it inconvenient.
- Corrosive.
- Environmental Pollution.
- Sterilization Effect is short.
|
| Alcohol Disinfectant
|
Can create protein denaturation, leads to the death of microorganisms, belongs to a standard disinfectant, and may kill the bacterium vegetative form. |
- Causes dryness to skin.
- Allergic Reactions.
- Irritant.
|
Soap
- Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS)
- Methylisothiazolinone
|
The active ingredient in the soap interface may destroy function of the microorganism cell membrane in order to reach sterilization effect. |
- Main component of soap, Fatty acid sodium will react with calcium, magnesium ionic in washing water; will stick on user’s hair and skin surface causing discomfort.
- Not easily biodegradable – will have metabolite on the environment and affect the human health and ecology.
|
| Titanium Dioxide |
The ultraviolet light on titanium dioxide will cause an oxidation effect which causes the destruction of bacterium cell membrane and achieve a sterilization effect. |
- PH-neutral.
- Non-toxic.
- Odorless.
- Non-pollutant.
- Sterilization effect is long.
- Self-cleaning.
- Anti-bacterial function cannot be achieved without sufficient light.
- Depends on UV photo-source that causes cancer.
|
| Nano Silver |
Using the silver ion which has positive electron to attract the bacteria yeast, destroy the cell and yeast, and reduce its activeness and die. |
- Non-toxic.
- Non-Irritant.
- Will not cause allergy.
