Why Ozone Gas?

Ozone (O3) can be found as a naturally occurring gas in the upper atmosphere. It is often used as a safe (FDA approved) but very powerful disinfectant (3,000 times faster than bleach). Ozone has long been used as a powerful disinfectant in water treatment, food sterilization and pest control for its remarkable anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-bacterial properties. Ozone effectively sanitizes items by destroying harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, allergens, and other pathogens. Since 2005 Fresh Gear has sanitized protective gear for many different organizations. This includes the US Army, US NAVY, US Marines, as well as multiple other branches of the US Government. Professional sports organizations like the Columbus Blue Jackets and the Washington Capitals of the National Hockey League use Fresh Gear's ozone sanitization technology to maintain their players equipment. The University of Nebraska-Lincoln also utilizes Fresh Gear for equipment sanitization at their campus.

#2

Utilization of Ozone Gas

That oxygen atom penetrates the pathogen cell wall...

#3

Utilization of Ozone Gas

Which leads to the complete destruction of the bacteria cell...

#4

Utilization of Ozone Gas

Ozone reverts back to oxygen after a job well-done. Unlike bleach and other chemical treatments, ozonation does not allow germs to mutate.
