Description
Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)
Hypochlorous Acid, often referred to as “Nature’s Disinfectant,” is a potent antimicrobial agent naturally produced by white blood cells in humans as part of the innate immune response to combat pathogens. This naturally occurring substance is effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores, leading to its widespread use in medical, agricultural, and food industries. Due to its high efficacy and safety profile, HOCl is gaining recognition in various sectors
To reduce transport costs, this product is shipped directly from the factory, so only online orders and online shipping is possible.
Agricultural Applications of HOCl
1. Foliar Spray for Disease Control: HOCl at 50-100 ppm acts as a preventive measure against fungal, bacterial, and viral infections in crops. For active infections, increasing the concentration to 150-250 ppm (depending on severity) and applying 1-2 times daily for a 3-day period can significantly reduce disease presence. This approach is particularly beneficial for high-value crops susceptible to common pathogens.
2. Fogging/Air Disinfection in Greenhouses: Utilizing HOCl at 10-25 ppm for daily fogging helps maintain air quality and control airborne pathogens. For more intensive disinfection, a 50 ppm solution can be used at intervals to target more persistent or severe microbial challenges, ensuring a healthy growing environment for plants.
3. Surface Disinfection: A concentration of 150-200 ppm is ideal for sanitizing surfaces that come into contact with food, including utensils and equipment. This concentration range effectively eliminates microbes without leaving harmful residues, ensuring food safety and compliance with health regulations.
4. Utensil and Equipment Disinfection: Using HOCl at 200-250 ppm for cleaning farm tools and machinery helps prevent the spread of plant diseases, contributing to overall farm hygiene and biosecurity.
5. Hand Disinfection: A solution of 200-250 ppm is effective for sanitizing hands, reducing the transmission of pathogens by farmworkers and visitors.
6. Foot Bath: Implementing a foot bath with a 50 ppm HOCl solution at entry points can significantly reduce the introduction of soil-borne pathogens into clean areas. Depending on traffic, the solution may need refreshing multiple times a day.
7. Post-Harvest Flower Rinse: Treating cut flowers with a 50-100 ppm HOCl solution can extend their shelf life by reducing microbial decay.
8. Seed Preparation: Soaking seeds in a 50-100 ppm solution before planting can decrease the incidence of seedborne diseases, promoting healthier crop germination and growth.
9. Propagation/Cloning Wound Site Care: For sensitive operations like propagation or cloning, using HOCl at 100-150 ppm helps prevent microbial contamination, ensuring the health and success of new plants.
10. Food/Post-Harvest Rinsing: A 30-60 ppm solution is safe and effective for rinsing fruits, vegetables, whole or cut fish, and seafood, reducing the risk of foodborne illnesses without affecting taste or safety.
Benefits of HOCl in Agriculture
- Broad-Spectrum Antimicrobial: Effectively kills a wide range of pathogens.
- Safety: Non-toxic to humans and animals, making it safe for frequent use.
- Environmental Impact: Breaks down into non-harmful substances, supporting sustainability.
- Resistance Prevention: Does not contribute to antimicrobial resistance.
- Fast Acting: Quickly neutralizes pathogens, reducing downtime.
- 100% Biodegradable: No need for post-application rinsing and does not leave chemical residues.
- Quality and Shelf Life: Extends the shelf life of agricultural products by reducing microbial load.
Important Details

Limitations of HOCl
While HOCl is a versatile and effective disinfectant, it has some limitations. As a water-based product with oxidant properties, HOCl can cause corrosion on certain metals (other than stainless steel 316 or similar) after prolonged exposure, necessitating the wiping down of metal surfaces post-application. Additionally, its 100% biodegradability means HOCl cannot be mixed with other chemicals and should not be stored for extended periods after dilution to maintain its efficacy.
