Highland Fresh introduces Selectrocide®
Highland Fresh Technologies is pleased to announce the introduction
of Selectrocide, a unique antimicrobial product based upon patented
technology that is now EPA-registered for use on fruit and vegetables
in food processing facilities and on hard, non-porous food processing
equipment. The power of chlorine dioxide is now available in one convenient
and easy to use product.
What is Selectrocide?
Selectrocide is a greater than 99% pure solution of chlorine dioxide
in tap water. Selectrocide is produced by a patented sachet that generates
a specific amount of chlorine dioxide when water is added. Selectrocide
now makes it possible to bring the proven antimicrobial performance
advantages of high-purity chlorine dioxide to the produce and food
processing industries.
Why wasn’t chlorine dioxide available
before?
Until the development of Selectrocide, chlorine dioxide applications
were primarily limited to drinking water purification and the pulp
and paper industry (slime removal), where it often replaced chlorine.
Chlorine dioxide applications were limited because this water soluble
gas could not be shipped and had to be generated on site, requiring
significant capital investment in mechanical generation equipment
that is cost prohibitive in many industries. Selectrocide results
in high-purity chlorine dioxide at neutral pH without the disadvantages
of other methods of generation.
How do I use Selectrocide?
Selectrocide can be used as a direct spray to treat raw agricultural
commodities in food processing facilities. It can also be used as
an antimicrobial sanitizer or disinfectant for hard, non-porous surfaces,
including food processing equipment. Check the product label and technical
bulletin for additional information on the proper uses of Selectrocide.
