Meet HOCLOMAC, a compact device that generates hypochlorous acid, a powerful disinfectant. This innovative project is backed by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Health Research and Development.
“So our innovation is that this is more portable. This is small and mobile, so it can fit small clinics or hospitals,” said Francis Aldrine Uy, founder and CEO of Usher Technologies Inc., in a recent feature on “Game Changer” during the “24 Oras” news program.
To create the hypochlorous acid-based disinfectant with HOCLOMAC, simply mix 20 grams of salt with one liter of water. Electrolysis occurs after one minute, followed by adding vinegar to balance the pH level.
Carissa Santos, an engineer at Usher Technologies, Inc., highlighted the importance of maintaining a pH level between 4 and 6 for safe skin application. In just five minutes, your disinfectant is ready to use!
One of HOCLOMAC’s standout features is its adjustable concentration, allowing it to be used as an alcohol alternative or for washing food, meats, and vegetables.
HOCLOMAC offers a cost-effective solution that can be easily deployed to clinics and hospitals in remote areas.
The device will be showcased at the WorldInvent Singapore International Invention Show from July 9-11.
