ClO₂ displays its powerful oxidation function with its unique molecular structure—free radicals— to decompose viral and bacterial proteins by means of oxygenolysis in order to block the action of viruses and bacteria by changing their protein structure.
ClO₂ can decompose tryptophan (Trp) and tyrosine (Tyr) composing the protein by means of oxygenolysis and transform them into N -Formylkynurenine and DOPA respectively^＊.
ClO₂ is also a deodorizer which decomposes odorous substances like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and ammonia by means of oxygenolysis.
