Chlorine dioxide is a powerful chemical that can pose health risks if handled improperly. Find all the necessary equipment for producing your CDS with the jar method on our website. Discover the kit! Required materials To make CDS using the JAR method, you will need: • An airtight glass jar (like a preserving jar) • A small glass • Low-mineralized water or distilled water (quantity varies depending on desired dosage) • Hydrochloric acid (HCl) at 4% • Sodium chlorite (NaClO2) at 25% • A cup or a graduated syringe for precise dosing • A well-ventilated area away from any heat source • Gloves and safety glasses Dosage The quantities of distilled water and reagents vary depending on the concentration and amount of CDS you wish to obtain. Please refer to the dosage chart to adjust the proportions precisely. The dosages given here are for informational purposes only and should be adapted to your needs. How to dose reagents? What is CDS? CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution) is a solution that contains only chlorine dioxide gas dissolved in distilled water. It is essential that the reagents (sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid) are never mixed directly with the distilled water in the jar. If the reagents come into contact with the water, it would result in a solution containing reagents, which is not CDS. Chlorine dioxide gas must be generated separately and dissolved in the water to obtain the CDS solution. Step-by-step procedure CDS manufacturing diagram Jar Method 1. Jar preparation • Fill the jar with the amount of water corresponding to your dosage. • Place the small glass inside the jar. 2. Preparing the reactive mixture • In the small glass, first add 25% sodium chlorite. • Then, gently add 4% hydrochloric acid to the cup, but never let these reagents come into contact with the water in the jar. They should only interact with each other in the small glass, not in the water. 3. Chlorine dioxide formation • Immediately seal the jar tightly. Chlorine dioxide gas is released into the small glass and slowly dissolves into the water in the jar. 4. First saturation (approx. 24 hours) • Leave to act for 24 hours at room temperature in a dark place. 5. Refrigeration after first saturation • After 24 hours at room temperature, place the jar in the refrigerator. • Check that the color of the cup and the water in the jar become identical. This means that the reaction is complete and the chlorine dioxide is properly dissolved in the water. 6. Second saturation (approx. 24 hours) • Once the color is consistent between the small glass and the liquid in the jar, discard the contents of the cup and prepare a new reactive mixture with the same proportions. • Seal the jar tightly again and leave to act for another 24 hours. • Repeat the same check: after 24 hours, put the jar in the refrigerator and wait for the color of the small glass and the water in the jar to be identical. 7. Filtration and storage • Once the time for the second saturation has elapsed, open the jar carefully. • Transfer the resulting solution into an amber glass bottle with an airtight stopper. • Store the solution in the refrigerator. Precautions and storage • Safe handling: Never directly inhale chlorine dioxide vapors. • Storage: Keep the solution in a dark glass container, cool, refrigerated and away from light.

Travel Chlorine Dioxide Production Kit: Purify Water Anywhere in the World
Whether you're traveling to Southeast Asia, South America, Africa, or any destination where water quality is uncertain, the issue of drinking water is often one of a traveler's primary concerns. Drinking tap water, brushing your teeth, rinsing fruit... these everyday actions can become risky when you don't know the origin or treatment of the local water. The Dioxypure chlorine dioxide production kit is a compact, effective solution designed for travel — including by plane. What is chlorine dioxide? Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is a chemical compound that has been used for many years in water treatment at industrial and municipal scales. It is recognized for its disinfecting and oxidizing properties, allowing it to eliminate many contaminants present in water. It should not be confused with chlorine: chlorine dioxide is a distinct compound, with a different mode of action and documented efficacy at low concentrations. What the kit contains The Dioxypure kit consists of two 100 mL dropper bottles: Bottle A: 25% sodium chlorite (NaClO₂) Bottle B: 4% hydrochloric acid (HCl) The reaction between these two reagents generates chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) in the form of an active solution, ready for use. Instructions for use: water purification for travel Step 1 — Prepare the active mixture In a small, clean, dry container, mix 1 drop from Bottle A with 1 drop from Bottle B. Let react for 30 seconds to 1 minute until a slight yellow color appears. Step 2 — Treat the water To disinfect 1 liter of water: prepare 3 drops from each bottle mixed together, wait 1 minute, then pour into the water to be treated. Allow to act for at least 30 minutes before consumption. ⚠️ Never consume the pure mixture. This product is intended for responsible use by individuals who have read the safety instructions. The safety data sheet (SDS) is available on dioxypure.com. Under no circumstances does this use replace approved water purification treatment. Why is this format ideal for air travel? The 2x100 mL kit offers a major logistical advantage: each bottle is exactly 100 mL, which corresponds to the limit allowed for liquids in carry-on baggage according to international air travel regulations (the 100 mL per container rule, in a 1-liter clear bag). You can therefore take it in your hand luggage, without restriction, without having to check everything. This is a significant advantage for long-haul flights, multiple layovers, or simply to have access to the product as soon as you land. Compact, lightweight, self-sufficient Unlike bottled water purchased locally — which is expensive, bulky, and generates plastic waste — the Dioxypure kit allows you to treat water locally, on demand, with minimal equipment.

What is CDS (Chlorine Dioxide Solution)?
CDS, short for Chlorine Dioxide Solution, refers to an aqueous solution of chlorine dioxide. Behind this acronym lies a well-known chemical compound, chlorine dioxide, which has been used for many years in specific technical contexts, particularly for water treatment and controlled disinfection. Today, the term CDS is increasingly sought after, but it remains surrounded by much confusion. The objective of this article is therefore to provide a clear, structured, and accessible explanation to understand what CDS truly is, how it is obtained, and why manufacturing quality and information are essential. CDS: a chlorine dioxide solution From a chemical perspective, CDS corresponds to a dissolved form of chlorine dioxide in water. Chlorine dioxide is an unstable gas in its pure state, which explains why it is used as an aqueous solution, which is easier to handle and measure. CDS is therefore an already formed solution, containing chlorine dioxide at a given concentration. This particularity distinguishes it from other products or mixtures requiring prior activation. 👉 On our website, CDS is the subject of a dedicated product sheet, detailing manufacturing choices, packaging, and transparency. I discover CDS! Chlorine dioxide and CDS: understanding the difference It is important to clearly distinguish chlorine dioxide as a chemical compound, and CDS as a solution. Chlorine dioxide has long been used for its oxidizing properties in various fields, always under strictly controlled conditions. CDS is nothing more than this same compound, already dissolved in water, which allows for more stable and precise use. 👉 Understanding these differences allows for a more rational and informed approach to the topic of CDS. How is CDS created? CDS is obtained by a controlled chemical reaction between two well-identified substances: sodium chlorite and hydrochloric acid. This reaction generates chlorine dioxide, which is then immediately dissolved in water to obtain a stable aqueous solution, commonly known as CDS. This manufacturing step is crucial, as the final quality of the CDS directly depends on: the purity of the reagents used the precision of the proportions the control of the chemical reaction and the physico-chemical parameters of the obtained solution The creation of CDS therefore does not rely on a simple mixture, but on a specific chemical reaction, requiring rigor, method, and understanding of the process. 👉 For those who wish to better understand this reaction, Dioxypure offers a CDS manufacturing kit, designed to document and frame this step clearly and transparently. I discover the product! CDS controlled by precise tests The quality of a CDS cannot be visually assessed. It relies on objective measurements, carried out using precise tests to verify the consistency and stability of the solution. At Dioxypure, our CDS is controlled using three essential parameters: The PPM (parts per million) test measures the effective concentration of chlorine dioxide in the solution. This is a central indicator for ensuring the consistency and reproducibility of the CDS. The conductivity test evaluates the presence of dissolved ions in the solution. This measurement provides complementary information on the overall composition of the CDS and the quality of the manufacturing process. Finally, the pH test verifies the acid-base balance of the solution. A consistent pH is essential to guarantee the stability of the CDS and the understanding of its physico-chemical characteristics. 👉 These controls are part of an approach of transparency and rigor, in order to provide a CDS whose parameters are known, measured, and verifiable. 👉 CDS is a subject that demands rigor and seriousness, far from approximations. CDS and responsible information It is fundamental to remember that CDS: is not a medicine does not replace professional advice must be approached with discernment At Dioxypure, our approach is primarily pedagogical and informative. We believe that understanding what CDS, chlorine dioxide, and their manufacturing are is an indispensable step. In summary CDS is a chlorine dioxide solution, obtained through a precise and controlled chemical reaction. Its quality depends directly on the manufacturing method, the purity of the components, and the transparency of the available information. Getting proper information on CDS means choosing understanding over confusion.
