A reduction treatment agent made of a powder with a particle size within a range of 1500 to 3000 mesh, the powder containing: 20 to 40 parts of a mixed-oxide powder containing magnesium oxide and zinc oxide; and 60 to 80 parts of an organic acid powder containing calcium, ascorbic acid, citric acid and salt. The reduction treatment agent may further contain one to six kinds of metal powder selected from the group of copper, molybdenum, nickel, cobalt, iron and aluminum, each in an amount of one part. Due to this configuration, the reduction treatment agent can be easily mixed with various substances when added to those substances. Even if the target substance is not water, the agent can entirely and uniformly change that substance into a reduced state. Additionally, the reduction treatment agent can act as a surfactant, and therefore, can be used as cosmetics or food.

A new composition and method for cleaning hair grooming implements is provided. The composition comprises about 1.1% Sodium Hypochlorite, about 2.5% Sodium Hydroxide, about 0.5% Lithium Perchlorate and about 95.9% water. A concentrated version of the solution may be formed and later diluted for use.

A system to prepare an antimicrobial solution by the electrolysis of brine is presented where the antimicrobial solution is a solution comprising HOCl that contains a HOCl concentration in excess of 500 ppm or more at a pH of 6 to 6.8 with a low residual salt concentration and displays a stability in excess of 60 days and can have a HOCl concentration in excess of 450 for 180 days. The system includes an electrolysis cell that is improved by a superior anode and ceramic membrane such that when employed with a DC power supply controlled by a microprocessor and a controlled brine concentration provided to the cell at ambient temperature at a controlled rate, delivers a fluid that is continuously monitored by a pH probe and an ORP probe for input to the microprocessor.

Provided is an antimicrobial coating material comprising one or more biocides encapsulated in inorganic-organic shells. The antimicrobial coating material can be applied on porous materials or porous media to form and antimicrobial coating without changing the physical properties and the functions of porous materials or porous media. The coating provides a durable, multi-level antimicrobial performance at high temperature through contact-killing, release-killing, anti-adhesion and self-cleaning. Also provided is a method of producing the antimicrobial coating material.
