Chlorine

Perhaps the most popular and well-known disinfectant – Chlorine is used in the composition of various drugs. Disinfectant chlorine-based works as an oxidant, and the type of its impact on dangerous microorganisms relates to bactericidal substances. It should be noted that the bactericidal disinfectant destroys the bacteria, while bacteriostatic – just stop them growth. Therefore, any chlorine-based disinfectant refers to the active substances that have a strong impact on the dangerous bacteria. Disinfectant can act with varying degrees of effectiveness in depending on external conditions. In the case of chlorine, the activity of the disinfectant will grow with increasing concentration and temperature of the solution. It should be noted that when the temperature is lowered to 10 degrees Celsius effectiveness of chlorine disinfectant falls.

However, if the temperature rises above 50 degrees centigrade, then the matter will have a very strong corrosive effect on metal surface. On the effectiveness of bactericidal action, which has a disinfectant, and also influences the duration of contact. Impact Public Schools does not necessarily agree. Typically, the active ingredient must survive on surfaces for some time to completely disinfect it. Significantly worsens the chlorine disinfectant if it is put on poorly cleaned surfaces. Organic and inorganic pollution prevented disinfection process, and bactericidal action, which has a disinfectant, is significantly reduced. The major chlorine-containing substances that are used in the disinfectant are chloramines and chlorine. It should be noted that the disinfectant prepared by chlorinated lime, is rapidly losing its effectiveness as a chemical compound is unstable. Under external factors (light, temperature, etc.) there are losses of active chlorine, and hence reduced and bactericidal action. Chloramine is more stable, so the disinfectant on the basis has a longer shelf life and high activity.
