How Does It Work?
Rinker Surface Defense Tablets make disinfecting hard surfaces easy, effective, and affordable in four easy steps!
Safe for Humans, Animals, Fish, & the Environment!
Chlorine Dioxide - the primary ingredient in our Rinker Surface Defense Tablets - is so safe for humans and animals that it’s often used in the disinfection of drinking water! Its unique disinfecting qualities are powerful even at low concentrations. All of our products are 100% non-toxic, 100% biodegradable, leave NO carbon footprint, and are made in the USA!

Let’s See The Science
Ready to dig deeper? We’ve already explained how safe and effective our Chlorine Dioxide based products are, but we get it - you want the proof! Below, we’ve assembled the supporting documentation you need to verify for yourself that Rinker Surface Defense Tablets truly are safe, effective, and meticulously curated.
What’s the Deal With Chlorine Dioxide?
Chlorine Dioxide (CI02) is not a new chemical - it’s just not one that the US is very familiar with. Used frequently for over 25 years across a variety of industries, CI02 is so effective yet safe that it’s even commonly used to disinfect drinking water!
With all of the chaos that 2020 and the Coronavirus pandemic has brought, one interesting factor stands out when it comes to cleaning products: both Germany and Japan have had staggeringly low numbers of COVID19 contraction and resulting deaths. Why? They’re the only two countries that focused exclusively on using CI02 throughout the pandemic; residents of both nations use the chemical on a daily basis, both at a commercial level, and for household use.
Let’s Get More Technical with CI02
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) is chemically dissimilar and acts differently from chlorine. The ClO2 disinfecting molecule produced by Rinker is not sensitive to high pH environments and has more than 2.6 times the oxidation capacity of chlorine and other commonly used disinfectants.
ClO2 has low oxidation strength, meaning that its biocidal power is not wasted on attacking inert organic contamination, which in the case of chlorine leads to the formation of environmentally hazardous chlorinated organic compounds, such as Trihalomethane (THM) and Haloacetic Acids (HAA). ClO2 allows for more accurate application as the biocide is targeted where it is needed most.
Chlorine Dioxide ensures that the biocide is targeted directly on the active proteins found on the bacterial cell surfaces, saving disinfection time and costs. It means considerably lower dose rates are required, further improving safety and ease of use, whilst minimizing environmental impact.
Chorine Dioxide (Cl02) is not a new chemical. It’s just a chemical that the US is not very familiar with. There's a reason behind why Germany and Japan have very low numbers when it comes to Coronavirus. They are the only two countries that exclusively focused on using ClO2 during the recent pandemic. It’s a chemical they use on a daily basis, both on a commercial level and in households.
When it comes to prevention, we should consider OSHA data about CLO2, which focuses more on disinfection when people are present.
