Oxidizing
Biocides - Agents capable of oxidizing organic
matter, eg cell material, enzymes or proteins which are
associated with microbiological populations resulting
in death of the micro-organisms. The most commonly used
oxidizing biocides are based on chlorine or bromine (halogens)
which liberate hypochlorous or hypobromous acids on hydrolysis
in water. The exception is chlorine dioxide, a gas which
does not hydrolyse but which functions in the same way.
