ziaino® only uses naturally derived salt and water to produce hypochlorous acid. The concentration is safe to use in manned spaces, emphasizing a balance between effectiveness and safety.
point 1
Aqua ziaino® controls the concentration
point 2
It is a vaporization method
point 3
The concentration of vaporized Aqua ziaino® is less than regulation level
How Aqua ziaino® is created
ziaino® produces Aqua ziaino® containing
The Aqua ziaino® created by Panasonic’s ziaino® is slightly alkaline with a pH of 8.5. The balance between effectiveness and safety is emphasized, making it safe to use in manned spaces.
*In Japan
How sodium hypochlorite is produced
This is how a diluted sodium hypochlorite solution (strong alkaline) like household bleach is created. Industrial mass production technology causes chlorine gas to be dissolved to produce hypochlorite ions (OCl-)
*In Japan
Spraying spaces involves spraying hypochlorous acid water over a large area and usually involves the use of a high concentration of hypochlorous acid in unmanned spaces. On the other hand, ziaino® uses filters to vaporize and deliver hypochlorite (HOCl), which makes it different from simply spraying the space.

Vaporizing Aqua ziaino® and delivering it using a filter
The concentration of vaporized Aqua ziaino® volatilized from ziaino® is lower than the environmental standard (0.5ppm*) for chlorine gas in the air and is suitable for use in manned spaces.

Why does it have a peculiar smell
(like that of a swimming pool)?
It’s proof that the hypochlorous acid is at work.
The reaction of hypochlorous acid with organic matter in the pool produces chloramines (the substance that creates the pool-like smell).
The pool-like smell is also a sign that the hypochlorous acid is working.
