Not sure how it would perform as I have never tried it.

I will say this regarding CLO2. It is used in paper mills and other industrial facilities I have done work in. I am a Safety Consultant full-time, and have seen workers get nasty burns after getting on their skin or breathing it in. It is used for bleaching the pulp which makes our paper white, and is some pretty nasty, reactive stuff in high concentrations (so is Chlorine). I have also seen it used at a lot of water treatment facilities, as well as Chlorine gas, to treat our drinking water. Keep in mind, both are used in miniscule amounts to do this.
If you give it a try, read through this health statement. Similar to SH it has some very irritating effects to our body in certain concentrations.
If you were to experiment with it, I would start with very small concentrations in a controlled setting, while using the appropriate respiratory protection. From everything I have read, it seems like it would work well, and you can buy it in tablets rather than liquid form. Not sure how much you need to be effective, so idk if there is a cost advantage.
I am curious to see what anyone else has to say or has experience with.
Want more information on chlorine dioxide liquid? Feel free to contact us.
Here is a link to the ClO2 “tablets”. It’s about $30 for a 1lb bag. I didn’t search deep enough to find bulk pricing.
I would be curious as to how much needs to be used to make it as effective as SH.
It is recommended to apply a 5 PPM solution, I copy and pasted a section from the technical data sheet on their website. I could not find the SDS for this product.
