Bio-Cide International, Inc., is a manufacturer<br />
and worldwide seller of antimicrobial<br />
and biocidal products based on proprietary<br />
chlorine dioxide technology. Their mission is<br />
to become a market leader and preferred<br />
source for stabilized chlorine dioxide and<br />
applications expertise aimed at meeting the<br />
needs of industry, consumers and distributors.<br />
The company continues to achieve that<br />

innovation, high ethical standards, and<br />

its competitors by providing “simply the best”<br />

Originally founded in 1972 by Bob Danner,<br />
Bio-Cide International is the leading<br />
manufacturer of antimicrobials that are based<br />
on a molecule called chlorine dioxide. These<br />
products are considered state-of-the-art newer<br />
generation products and provide a higher level<br />
of effectiveness with a lower toxicity profile.<br />
The products are environmentally friendly.<br />
Once applied and the desired outcome is<br />
obtained, the ingredients break down simply<br />
into innocuous table salt. The applications<br />
range from treatment of food, to being a part<br />
of ophthalmic formulations. One of the<br />
biggest pharmaceutical companies, Allergan,<br />
uses Bio-Cide International products as an<br />
important component of their formulations.<br />
Bio-Cide International’s flagship brands<br />
Oxine ® and Keeper ® are used for the treatment<br />
of food, which includes red meat, poultry,<br />
seafood and a variety of fruits and vegetables.<br />
The company also has an advanced laboratory<br />
that employs scientists of varied background,<br />
including chemists and microbiologists.<br />
For over thirty-five years, Bio-Cide<br />
International has manufactured Oxine and<br />
Purogene, proven safe disinfectants effective on<br />
a broad spectrum of microorganisms. Located<br />
in Norman, <strong>Oklahoma</strong>, they continue to manufacture<br />
a versatile line of chemical disinfectants,<br />
sanitizers, deodorizers and preservatives.<br />
Bio-Cide’s products are based on the<br />
company’s proprietary chlorine dioxide solution,<br />
which is environmentally safe and effective<br />
against a wide variety of microorganisms<br />
in short contact times. The products have<br />
been tested for quality, effectiveness and<br />
toxicity. Bio-Cide has obtained government<br />
approvals, licenses and registrations for each<br />
product to assure its authenticity and safety.<br />
The initial chlorine dioxide applications<br />
were for water treatment, animal health<br />
environments, household and agricultural<br />
purposes. The success of these products<br />
encouraged expansion into larger commercial<br />
applications where product approvals<br />
have been granted by the Environmental<br />
Protection Agency (EPA), the Food and Drug<br />
Administration (FDA) and the United States<br />
Department of Agriculture (USDA).<br />
