Formalin is a thing of the past!
Formalin is almost certainly carcinogenic for people. Luckily there is a better and safer alternative that is just as effective, but more environmentally-friendly and also human, animal- and environmentally friendly
What is Formalin and what is it used for?
Formalin is a popular disinfectant that is commonly used for disinfecting poultry stables and the paws of dairy cattle. It is also used within some industrial disinfection processes. Furthermore, this substance is also used as a reactive component for other substances, which is why it is also in products such as furniture, seat-belts and incense. Formalin is a 37% substance of Formaldehyde in water, to which an amount of methanol is added. It is a strongly scented colorless substance. In Formalin the main active substances are methanol and formaldehyde.
Formalin is effective against almost all fungi, yeasts and viruses. But Formalin is not selective, meaning that it does not only damage the micro-organisms, but also human or animal cells.
The alternative: Watter Disinfection Solution
Watter Disinfection Solution which is being produced on-site is the sustainable alternative for Formalin, the substance is not harmful to the environment, nor to the health of man or animal. But what is it that makes Watter Disinfection Solution a good alternative for Formalin, keep reading to find out how this alternative works!
How does Watter Disinfection Solution work?
The main active substance in Watter Disinfection Solution is HOCl (Also called hypochlorous acid). Thanks to our innovative Watter technology we are able to create this on-site by electrolyzing salt dissolved in water, thanks to this a disinfectant is created in which HOCl is the most important active substance. Because HOCl has an oxidizing property, that causes it to become highly effective against fungi, yeast, bacteria and viruses. This disinfectant can be utilized in many areas where hygiene is essential, for example the food or the health-care industry, but also for the drinking water of cattle.
