Hydrogen peroxide disinfection – Hydrogen peroxide is used daily in various industries to disinfect water. Hydrogen peroxide provides an oxidizing effect and leaves no residue. However, the product also has stability problems. We have the solution for this: hydrogen peroxide with special stabilizing ingredients, called Freebac-Clearoxyl®. In addition to the stabilizing effect, you need a lower dosage with Freebac-Clearoxyl for cleaning process water or disinfecting organic material in drain water.

Disinfection with hydrogen peroxide
Disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide are relatively unknown in the food processing industry. Most disinfectants are based on chlorine compounds, quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) or alcohol. Disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxides have been developed over a number of years into a reliable and user-friendly product.
Thorough disinfection with hydrogen peroxide
The hydrogen peroxide disinfectant has shortcomings in the form of stability problems. When disinfecting with water peroxide, an autoredox reaction occurs. This means that the agent can never stop reacting once the reaction has started. As a result, when using “normal” hydrogen peroxide, an enormous amount of peroxide is required to kill all bacteria.
This effect is overcome by adding stabilizing components. Freebac-Clearoxyl is therefore one of the most stable disinfectants based on hydrogen peroxide. We convert hydrogen peroxide into microencapsulated oxygen. That is why Freebac is unique and can no longer be compared to hydrogen peroxide.
Working principle
Hydrogen peroxide disinfectants have an oxidation principle. Simply put: disinfecting with hydrogen peroxide burns the bacteria. Other disinfection products (chlorine, quats) damage the cell nucleus of the bacteria. This is a different working principle. Microorganisms can become resistant to this method. This is impossible for hydrogen peroxide. Nothing is resistant to combustion.
Three generations of hydrogen peroxide
The first generation of hydrogen peroxide-based disinfectants proved not to be stable enough. The second generation hydrogen peroxides, stabilized with silver (nitrate) or peracetic acid, often have disadvantages in the longer term. The latest generation of hydrogen peroxide is the future: hydrogen peroxide stabilized with natural ingredients; effective, stable, no residues and no adverse effects on equipment and surfaces.
No residues
Hydrogen peroxide has the chemical formula H2O2. After reaction, the molecule breaks down into H2O and O2. In this sense, disinfecting with hydrogen peroxide leaves no residues. Water and oxygen exist everywhere and are not harmful or dangerous. This is an important reason why hydrogen peroxide is often used to clean (drinking) water applications. In addition, this property of hydrogen peroxide is also extremely useful in the food industry.
