Other uses (for information only)

Hydrochloric Acid 4%, also known as HCL 4% or muriatic acid, is a colorless solution with various applications in different industries. It is widely used in the chemical industry, as a laboratory reagent, catalyst and solvent. It is also used in the food industry to regulate the pH level of products, such as in cheese making and pickling. In the metalworking industry, 4% hydrochloric acid is used to clean, etch and activate surfaces for further treatment. Its versatility and effectiveness make it a valuable component in many processes.

The 4% HCL concentration in the activator is carefully formulated to provide the perfect balance between efficacy and safety. It is strong enough to activate the sodium chlorite solution, but not so strong that it poses a danger to the user or the environment.

This product is one of the components of the Water Treatment Kit and should always be used together with Sodium Chlorite to prepare chlorine dioxide.

One drop of HCL Activator is used for each drop of Sodium Chlorite (1:1). For 1 liter of water we will need 2 drops of sodium chlorite and 2 drops of activator. Mix two drops of each component in a dry (non-metallic) container.

Wait about 45 seconds until you obtain a golden amber color. >150 ml water should then be added to these mixed amber drops to stabilize the activated solution as soon as possible. Immediately afterwards, dilute in the water to be treated and leave to act for at least 30 minutes. The amount of product to be dosed and the exposure time will always depend on the quality of the water to be treated.

Store away from light, in a cool, dry place.
