HOCL VS. TRADITIONAL SANITIZERS & DISINFECTANTS
| FEATURE | SANITIZER | DISINFECTANT | HOCL |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary Purpose | Reduces 99.9% of bacteria | Kills 99.999% of bacteria & viruses | Can do both— depending on concentration & use |
| Regulated By | FDA (for hand/food use) or EPA (for surfaces) | EPA only | "Must be EPA/FDA registered to make kill claims" with "EPA" |
| Kills Viruses | Not guaranteed | ✓ Yes | ✓ Yes |
| Kills Bacteria | ✓ Yes (basic level) | ✓ Yes (high level) | ✓ Yes (even at low ppm) |
| Kills Fungi/Mold | ✗ No | Some | ✓ Yes (proven in lab studies) |
| Safety for Skin | Varies — alcohol can dry or irritate | ✗ Usually (toxic or corrosive) | ✓ Skin-safe, non-irritating |
| Safe for Produce/Surfaces | Some are food-contact safe | ✗ Often not safe for food-contact surfaces | ✓ Yes |
| Toxicity / Harsh Chemicals | Mild-moderate | High — often contains bleach, quats, or ammonia | ✓ Non-toxic, no fumes, no residue |
| Environmental Impact | Varies | ✗ Can harm waterways and air | ✓ Breaks down into salt + water |
| Typical Use Case | Hand sanitizers, restaurant tables | Hospitals, bathrooms, industrial cleaning | Wound & skin care, baby-safe sprays, food safety, home use |
| How It Works | Alcohol or quats break down outer cell layers | Strong chemicals oxidize and denature cells | Mimics immune system — oxidizes pathogens on contact |
| Efficacy at Low Concentrations | ✗ Needs high alcohol % (60-70%) | ✓ But often corrosive | ✓ Effective at 50-200 ppm |
