Hypochlorous Acid (HOCL) is a powerful oxidizing compound capable of killing bacteria in seconds. Because HOCL does not carry an electrical charge, it easily penetrates the cell membrane of microorganisms. Here will occur oxidation, and inhibit the assimilation of microbial cells, destroy enzymes, proteins and destroy microorganisms from the inside.
