that sounds really impressive.you should turn Chris on to this.if this is affordable and accessable it would Chang roof clean as we know it. 

I too sent a request. I figure the more people send a request the more serious they will take it as a viable avanue to look into...

Thanks

I also requested some info on this product. I also found this on youtube. They are using it in the gas form, but the results are truly amazing. If it works half that good in liquid form, we'll have a winner. Found some pricing, but don't know how much you have to use, to determine if its affordable.

I did not hear from them today so I did some research on my own and found a very good document from the EPA. Here is a small clip from that document and a link to the entire thing.

· Air contact with chlorine dioxide solutions should be controlled to limit the potential for
explosive concentrations possibly building up within the generator. Chlorine dioxide
concentrations in air higher than 8 to 10 percent volume should be avoided. Two methods
can be applied: operation under vacuum or storage under higher positive pressure (45 to 75
psig) to prevent buildup of gas-phase ClO2 in the head space. Bulk storage (batch) tanks
containing ClO2 should be suitably vented to atmosphere.

Anything that looks promising is worth the research but right now this looks to not be a compatible product. Not done researching but this is what I have found so far.

Ok been doing a bit of web digging

Chlorine Dioxide sounds like good stuff to me. A lot of places that claim to supply or sell Chlorine Dioxide actually sell you "Sodium Chlorite" then the instructions tell you to add a small amount of citric acid to mix it up. Sodium Chlorite + citric acid starts a reaction = Chlorine Dioxide (concentrate) then you mix this concentrate with water to get your final product ratio's

Example: http://www.cleantec.com.au/FHS/FACT%20SHEETS/Sanidex%2080%20fs.pdf don't worry about the company in the link, it is just for info, but you will see what I mean by the above statement.

Sodium Chlorite is available almost anywhere and is relatively cheap.

They all say that when all this is in water that it is stable, this must be right because they sell it to any one to clean and steralize what ever. I dont think that they would sell exploding chemicals to any old joe so it must be safe.

also the web is full of people claiming that this stuff is the cure for all ills, from tooth ache to cancer being promoted as a miracle mineral supplement or MMS (look up sodium chlorite mms) sounds a bit snake oily but who knows

You guys need to be careful here; I've sold chlorine dioxide (ClO2) generating systems for over 15 years.  Chlorine dioxide is a gas that is easily dissolved into water that can also easily come out of water.  If ClO2 is in a closed container and pressurized, it can (possibly) become explosive.

The good:


- does not harm the environment or associated surfaces anywhere near that of bleach
- is environmentally safe, degrades into two salts
- isn't poisonous when acidified like bleach
- isn't corrosive, where bleach is very corrosive!

Now only if the good columb was full and the bad coumb was empty, well the stuff was worth mentioning

I would still be interested in getting my hands on some of that TwinOxide stuff to see what it can or can not do. it's original use was as a strong bleaching agent, the germ thing came later.

Having said that all chems have a safety issue!

For instance never ever mix chlorine and brake fluid together it will explode like a bomb, A story, when I was an electrician years ago we were called to a home that just had a fire, when we got there the fire brigade was still mopping up, around the back yard parts of the back shed were scatteded every where, we were asked to disconnect the power to where the shed use to be to make it safe. I asked how all this happened and the fire fighters said that the home owner had pool chlorine stored in the shed. above the chlorine he had shelfs on which he had brake fluid and a Lawn mower petrol tin, the brake fluid leaked out and "dripped" in to the open container of chlorine, chemical reaction and Ka-Boom. I said how often does that happen and he said we get called to a couple a week, back sheds blowing up due to chlorine stored incorrectly, Chris watch out for those brake lines on your truck when the chlorine drips on them.

Go2 received EPA registration June '09... you'll find it is pretty expensive.  I've used it for some overseas mold abatement applications prior to EPA approval and have used it for emergency water treatment in Hawaii most recently.
