Active Oxygen Testing in Cleaning Products: Hygiene and Efficiency Measurement

Active Oxygen Testing in Cleaning Products

What is Active Oxygen?

Active oxygen is a form of oxygen that is released during chemical reactions and has a high oxidation capacity. It is actually a chemical known as sodium percarbonate. It is also known as “solid hydrogen peroxide”, “sodium carbonate” or simply “SPC”. It is usually caused by the following ingredients in cleaning products:

• Hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂)
• Sodium percarbonate
• Sodium perborate

These ingredients release active oxygen when in contact with water, killing microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. It also plays an effective role in removing organic and inorganic stains.

Active oxygen technology has started to replace traditional washing with water, detergent and bleach. It is ideal for facilitating stain removal and surface cleaning with cleaning materials containing active oxygen. Detergents, stain removers, cleaning products for bathroom surfaces have started to gain popularity.

Why is Active Oxygen Testing Important?

Active oxygen tests of cleaning products:

1. Verifyhygienic effectiveness,
2. Ensureproduct reliability,
3. Determinecompliance with regulatory standards,
4. It is done to controlformulation quality.

Especially in hospitals, food production facilities and household hygiene products, the right levels of active oxygen are critical to ensure effective cleaning.

What is the Role of Active Oxygen for Hygiene and Efficacy?

The main functions of active oxygen in cleaning products are as follows:

1. Microorganism Killing: Inactivates bacteria, viruses and fungi by oxidizing their cell membranes.
2. Stain Removal: In bleach and detergents, active oxygen removes organic and inorganic stains by oxidation.
3. Odor Removal: It makes the environment more hygienic by oxidizing odor-causing components.
