New Peroxide and Ozone Vapor Disinfectant

Wow, that sounds great...Now if we could just get everybody to dress like this...

So that is what they look like!

Wow! Where can I buy a dozen of these?

This type of sterilizing technique has been available and in use at least 5 years back now here in U.S. I've dealt with Sterrad ASP(J&J) the OEM for parts, repairs and any preventive maintenance related issues for this plasma utilizing units.

It is similar to the Glosair mistifiers but does add the component of ozone to get residual disinfection. I have used peroxone and peroxide in environmental ground water cleanups but had not heard of something similar in confined ares using mists. My Company has used peroxide mists in the grocery produce department but we did not use ozone. Our mists were timed (night only) and only used <1% peroxide. No residual was available with this method. The advantage of no residual were to eliminate consumption of anything adverse. The advantage with residual components (using ozone) with a short half life would be to eliminate the eukaryote organisms. That means all things like fungi, bacteria, molds, and even small bugs. The problematic C. difficile and MRSA can be controlled in large rooms. These seem to be the most prominent problems current to hospital environments. I like the mistifiers for a lot of other reasons outside of hospitals. There seems to be a big interest from some hotel chain and I believe they are interested to reduce bedbug issues. The mistifier offers them something to advertize and that may be part of the needed public optics. I smell an opportunity but am too old to start a new business.

Used to work in the medelectronics field. How did they overcome the fire/explosion problem, or is the life so short as to not be a problem?

Personally I would like every minute of life available, provided I am healthy. There is no auto ignition of peroxide when it is at a 5% solution and ozone is a fraction of mg/L. I have manufactured ozone to be used with peroxide at low concentrations. The only time any one got "burned" was if they were mixing it from a concentrate and diluting to low percent and didn't wear the protective gear provided. If you got 35% on your hands it would itch and turn your skin white for about 20 minutes then just go away. Peroxide is a powerful oxidizer and should always be handled with care.

I think for peroxide to auto ignite it needs to be around 55%. I would not buy it greater than 35%. Peroxide will add oxygen to a fire if say, a warehouse with peroxide in it caught fire. But not by itself at the low concentration. It can be purchased at much lower concentaration and I would suspect whoever markets the peroxide/ozone mistifiers will sell pre-measured concentrations of 1 to 5 %. And yes you can get very high concentration of peroxide that must be handled with extreme care. I think rocket fuel is around 90% but could be wrong.
