Functional Reducing Ion Water IW-1 | Materials

Functional reducing ion water with strong antibacterial, antiviral, and deodorizing effects

IW-1 is a functional reducing ion water that uses proprietary patented technology to imbue mineral salts with high reducing properties. Using water and 100% natural mineral salts, it offers high safety and confirmed efficacy against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and bacteria. IW-1 is expected to show potential in wide-ranging scenes, with product form factors including pump sprays and aerosol sprays such as for antivirus measures.

Features

1High Antibacterial and Antiviral Effectiveness

Viruses are rendered inactive by a reduction reaction^*1 due to the mineral salts contained in IW-1. Effectiveness has also been confirmed against enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and bacteria.^*2

*1 A reduction reaction is the process of depriving an object of oxygen and adding electrons and hydrogen. This high reductivity creates excess energy for the virus or bacterium, eliminating it.
*2 Effectiveness does not necessarily apply to all bacteria or viruses.

2Produced From Water and Naturally-Derived Mineral Salts, Ensuring a High Level of Safety

Safety has been confirmed in the following safety tests.
[Skin/eye irritation test, human patch test, acute inhalation toxicity test, acute oral toxicity test, acute toxicity test, subacute oral toxicity test]

The product is free of alcohol, hypochlorous acid, surfactants, ozone, and OH radicals, allowing use with peace of mind by those concerned about metal and plastic corrosion, hygiene, and spills on clothing or carpets.

3High Chemical Stability

Tested to evaluate stability in storage, corrosion on metals, and degradation of resins

Retains functionality for at least three years.
Does not corrode pure iron, copper, stainless steel, or resins such as PET, polycarbonate, acrylic, and silicone rubber.

4High Cleaning Efficacy
