What is electro-oxygenated water (EOW)?
Steriplant N is placed among the revolutionary group of biocide agents of electro-oxygenated water (EOW). The mechanism of EOW works on the basis of tied electrons from the environment. This way it takes the electrons from the mechanisms with negative tension on the membrane and therefore destroys them.
How is EOW made?
Steriplant N is an ecological biocide. We obtain it from ordinary water and non-iodized kitchen salt. The electrolysis process is held in a special column made from titan electrodes. The company Swiss Steriplant, who we represent, is the only producer of EOW in the world with four-chamber system, which enables the production of persistent EOW with stronger anti-corrosive action.
How does EOW work?
Electro-oxygenated water works with several mechanisms:
What are the possibilities of use for EOW?
According to the effects, Steriplant N can be used for disinfection of surfaces, equipment, water pipes, facilities, vehicles and trailers. Depending on the purpose, you need to choose an agent with a desired effect.
What are the main advantages in comparison with other disinfectants?

What standards were used for testing the EOW on microorganisms?
Steriplant N is tested according to the standards for testing of disinfectants and is registered as a biocide at the Slovenian Chemical Bureau.
