TAIPEI, Taiwan, Jan. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Health
Organization's Regional Office for Africa has compiled a worldwide database of
COVID-19 technological innovations with the goal of sharing
information on technologies that have already made a difference in
other parts of the world. Developed in Taiwan, ELECLEAN's disinfectant solution has
been recognized in the "Laboratory" category of innovations with
the potential for adaptation and scaling in the fight against
COVID-19.
The World's First Disinfectant Spray to Use Water as Its
Single Reagent
In the fight against COVID-19, alcohol is perhaps the most
commonly utilized disinfectant and sterilization solution. But what
if there was a way to achieve effective disinfection with something
even more common? Perhaps something that comes from the turn of a
faucet? Since 2016, Taiwanese startup ELECLEAN has produced
disinfectant using water as its only reagent. By Using
nano-catalysis electrochemical technology, water is directly
transformed into "reactive oxygen species" (ROS) such as hydroxyl
radicals, hydrogen peroxide, and superoxide radicals. ROS
effectively destroy viruses and bacteria by oxidation. Delivered in
the form of a portable and rechargeable device, ELECLEAN produces
disinfectant from regular tap water in just 15 minutes at the touch
of a button.
Moreover, ELECLEAN is safe and eco-friendly. Upon destroying the
targeted pathogens, ROS simply transforms back into water.
Throughout the process, no chemical additives or preservatives are
utilized, which makes this disinfectant product non-toxic - unlike
many traditional disinfectants. ELECLEAN has been certified by
professional laboratories around the world, including Chang Gung
University, SGS, SNQ, and more. In particular, ELECLEAN has been
verified as effective against pseudomonas aeruginosa, pneumococcus,
H1N1, candida albicans, E. coli, staphylococcus aureus, salmonella,
black mold, and more.
A New Innovation for the Pandemic Era
In August of this year, the startup launched a new product
called ELECLEAN 360 in response to the pandemic. ELECLEAN 360 is an
intelligent disinfectant station that may be installed at entrances
to buildings and other venues to provide full-body disinfection.
The system effectively removes viruses, bacteria, and odors from
those who walk through, significantly improving public health and
safety in public spaces. ELECLEAN 360 has already been used for
sanitation control of various venues and events, including the
CHIMEI Museum, the National Library of Public Information's Read
Exposition, National Geographic's 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
Run, and more.
Inspired by the Need for Clean Water
After participating in various disaster relief programs in
India and Southeast Asia, Dr. Chien-Hung Chen, Founder and CEO of ELECLEAN,
found that clean water and disinfection were critical problems in
need of solutions. Chen drew on his 13 years of water treatment
research experience at the Material and Chemical Research
Laboratory at the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI)
to invent a series of water purification modules to provide
refugees with clean, potable water. After returning to Taiwan, Chen founded ELECLEAN with the mission
to become the world's top-ranked professional disinfection
appliance brand.
In addition to ELECLEAN's flagship disinfectant solution, our
current line of products also includes ELECLEAN plus+, ELECLEAN
share, and ELECLEAN 360. It is expected that other products will be
released, including ELECLEAN tissue and E-cube, in the near
future.
