<h2>Chimical process</h2><p>The products distributed by Cleanea are based on the electrolysis technology, a process discovered in 1900 and which has proved its effectiveness since then in many industries: metalworking industry, agri-food industry, water purifying, etc.</p><p>Recently, while succeeding in stabilizing the outputs (with a 3-chamber patented process), research teams have opened up new horizons such as, for instance, the production of cleaning products.</p><p>Electrolysis of water consists in the separation of the water molecule (H2O) in ions (OH- and H+) thanks to electrical energy. With Na+ and Cl- ions coming from salt, the reaction produces a disinfecting acid and a grease-removing base.</p><p>The chemical reaction is based on a ground-breaking technology: the 3-chamber electrolysis cell used by Cleanea. Two patented protonic exchange membranes make it possible to filter anions and cations in order to create 3 different solutions. The brine passes between the two electrolysis chambers then is recycled, while the two solutions (from the anode and from the cathode) are collected.</p><p>With a pH between 3 and 5, the hypochlorous acid created in the anode region has very specific bactericidal properties. With a pH between 10.5 and 11.4, the hydroxyde solution created in the cathode region has well-known grease-removing properties.</p><p>These specific properties provide as much effectiveness as conventional cleaning products.</p>
