GVH_1021

Smarter Antimicrobial Technology

SoChlor holds over 70% of NHS demand for chlorine NaDCC tablets, making it the UK’s most widely used NaDCC range and one of the most widely used Infection Prevention and Control(IPC) solutions in UK healthcare. GV Health’s trusted range of hypochlorous acid-releasing NaDCC disinfectant tablets delivers broad-spectrum antimicrobial performance across healthcare and public settings. Its active, hypochlorous acid, is a biomimetic compound that provides reliable, cost-effective disinfection, from routine surface disinfection to high-level pathogen elimination, helping healthcare teams break the chain of infection and achieve better outcomes in infection prevention and control.

SoChlor’s exceptional antimicrobial performance comes from its intelligent and powerful active, hypochlorous acid. SoChlor delivers hypochlorous acid in-situ from an inert precursor, NaDCC, making it more resistant to interference by dirt compared to conventional biocides.

Its smart, biomimetic technology means it emulates the activity of white blood cells in the body, providing the same antimicrobial activity when presented with pathogens.

Hypochlorous acid is 100x more antimicrobial than household bleach, meaning SoChlor is suitable for even high-level disinfection of more resistant pathogens like mycobacteria, non-enveloped viruses and spore-forming bacteria.

Intelligent Delivery of Active – Molecular Dosing

When NaDCC reacts with water, only a small portion of total hypochlorous acid is released.

Continued release of hypochlorous acid makes SoChlor more effective than all other disinfectants at destroying pathogens.
