Acidic Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water sterilization mechanism
Physics theory: It mainly includes potential redox theory, electron motion theory, and electrical conduction theory. The low pH value (2.0-3.0) and high redox potential (ORP≥+1,100mV) of Acidic Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water are beyond the survival range of microorganisms and change the membrane potential of microbial cells to lead to enhanced cell membrane permeability; the destruction of cell metabolic enzymes, the precipitation of intracellular substances, to achieve the effect of killing microorganisms.
Chemical theory: In addition to low pH and high ORP, the main components of its sterilization also include: hypochlorous acid, hydrogen peroxide, and OH groups. Interestingly, these components have precisely the same composition as the reactive oxygen species responsible for the bactericidal effect of neutrophils. After many scientific experiments, the theory was confirmed in 1998, and it was established that the available chlorine in the acid oxidation potential water is one of the main factors to kill pathogenic microorganisms.
1.Acidic Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water Bactericidal properties
Acidic Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water has the characteristics of broad-spectrum sterilization and rapid sterilization. A number of studies at home and abroad have proved that acidic oxidation potential water can not only kill bacterial propagules, viruses, but also kill spores and other pathogenic microorganisms.

2. The Safety of Acidic Electrolyzed Oxidizing Water
After various clinical experiments by the National Center for Disease Control and domestic and foreign scientists, such as acute oral toxicity test, skin irritation test, eye irritation test, animal bone marrow cell micronucleus test and cytotoxicity test, it is proved that the acid oxidation potential water It is a safe, reliable, non-toxic and side-effect disinfectant.
3.Environmental Protection of Acid Oxidation Potential Water
Due to the acidic oxidation potential water, when exposed to light, air, and temperature higher than 40 °C, it can be automatically reduced to ordinary water. Therefore, its non-residue, non-polluting environmental protection features can achieve zero emissions.
4.Cleaning Mechanism of Alkaline Oxidation Potential Water
Alkaline oxidation potential water has high pH value (above 11) and negative redox potential (ORP≤-800), with small molecular groups and good permeability; The net capacity is better than that of hot alkali (NaOH) at 80℃, and it has extremely strong decontamination ability.To sum up, acid oxidation potential water is an environmentally friendly disinfectant with strong sterilization ability; alkaline oxidation potential water is a cleaning agent with solid decontamination ability.
The Chinese Ministry of Health has approved the use of oxidative potential aquatic products as follows:
① Sanitary hand disinfection;
②Skin and mucous membrane disinfection;
③ Disinfection of tableware;
④ Disinfection of fruits and vegetables;
⑤ Disinfection of food processing pipelines and equipment;
⑥Environment and surface disinfection;
⑦ Medical equipment disinfection, etc.
