Can stainless steel kettle be disinfected with chlorine dioxide?

Stainless steel cannot be disinfected.

Effervescent chlorine dioxide tablets are internationally recognized as efficient disinfectants, which can kill all microbial strains, including bacterial propagules, buds, bacteria, mycobacteria and virus infections, and such bacteria are not easy to produce drug resistance.

Chlorine dioxide has strong adsorption and permeability to plant cells of microbial strains, can reasonably oxidize sulfur-containing enzymes, and can quickly inhibit the production of microbial strains protein, thus destroying microbial strains.

Mechanism of action

The mechanism of action is mainly oxidation. The electronic structure of chlorine dioxide molecule is in an unsaturated state, and the outer layer * * * has 19 electrons, which has strong oxidizing power. It mainly attacks electron-rich atomic groups such as sulfhydryl-containing enzymes, sulfides, chlorides, etc., forcibly robbing electrons, and making them become substances that lose their activity and change their properties, thus achieving the goal.

Sterilization mechanism: Chlorine dioxide has strong adsorption and permeability to the cell wall, releasing atomic oxygen to oxidize enzymes containing sulfhydryl groups in cells, thus playing a bactericidal role.

Bleaching: The bleaching of chlorine dioxide decomposes pigments by releasing atomic oxygen and producing hypochlorite. Using it instead of chlorine and chlorate as bleaching agent can prevent and avoid oxidation with fiber and reduce fiber strength, so the effect is more comprehensive.
