Chlorine and chlorine dioxide:
where does the difference begin?

Similar names do not mean the same chemistry. Compare them using the right criteria.

Cl₂ / ClO₂

Similar names do not mean the same chemistry.

Chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) is a different compound from chlorine. Both have uses in water treatment, but their reaction behavior and the parameters that must be controlled are not the same.

What should be considered regarding by-products?

When using chlorine dioxide, monitoring chlorite and chlorate is important. Rather than claims such as “no by-products” or “safer under all conditions,” the relevant control parameters for the specific water should be identified.

How should you compare the options?

When comparing options for your operation, consider your current method, target water quality, consumption data, and measurement plan together. Container price alone does not represent total application cost.

Next step

When speaking with HAFKİM, share your current water analyses and application objective. Specific performance or savings should not be promised without field data.
