Hydroxyl Radical Technology

Safe & Natural

Atmospheric Hydroxyls (-OH) are safe, naturally occurring molecules. They are created in the outdoors when the ultraviolet rays of the sun react with water vapor from the air. This is a natural process that constantly occurs in our atmosphere. Hydroxyls are the single most important agent that scrubs and cleanses our planet’s atmosphere.

ODOROX® Atmospheric Hydroxyl Generators replicate a natural process

Nature uses atmospheric hydroxyl molecules to cleanse and decontaminate our outdoor environment. However, hydroxyls are not produced naturally indoors.  Through years of development and field testing, HGI Industries, Inc. developed a patented process that safely generates atmospheric hydroxyl radicals that naturally "seek and destroy" odor molecules, bacteria, viruses, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), mold and other chemicals. The ODOROX® Atmospheric Hydroxyl Generator actually neutralizes odor and gases by breaking down their chemical bonds. This can be done with even some of the most difficult molecules, such as Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) and Ammonia (NH3). 

The ODOROX® system utilizes patented technologies that for the first time harness multiple nanometer UV wavelength frequencies. These wavelengths combined with ambient air humidity create hydroxyls, which naturally occur when ultraviolet rays from the sun come in contact with humidity. HGI’s main technology is a revolutionary device that generates “superior hydroxyls” that safely eliminate bacteria, mildew, mold, noxious gases, and odors from VOCs for use in indoor environments.

Once the hydroxyls are created by the ODOROX® generator, unlike in competing  hydroxyl generator technology, the hydroxyls are able to be disbursed to neutralize odor molecules, bacteria, viruses, mold, VOCs and other chemicals.  This system does not require all of the contaminants within a room to pass through the processing chamber because of the cascade effect. 

This reaction of the atmospheric hydroxyls generated by the ODOROX® technology guarantees a more rapid and thorough decontamination.  Outside of unit, the ODOROX® hydroxyls immediately begin a cascade reaction: the hydroxyl molecule sanitizing pollutants in the far corner of the room are not necessarily the same hydroxyl molecules that exited the generator.  The cascade of hydroxyls quickly disperse throughout the area.  Any quenched hydroxyls are continuously replaced by the system, providing constant decontamination.
