Frequently Asked Questions

Q. What is MA-T®?

A. Since the handling of chlorine dioxide is very difficult, it is permitted for only special use.  After eighteen years of research, we remedied these problems to produce MA-T®. Instead of using chlorine for its chemical reaction, it involves oxygen, so it does not produce trihalomethane associated with chlorine and other treatments. Unlike chlorine, the product does not function by hydrolysis.

Q. Acute oral toxicity tests

A. Acute oral toxicity tests in mice found no cases of abnormalities or death. The data showed a LD50 of over 2,000mg/kg, meaning even if a person weighing 60kg consumed 120cc of MA-T®, no abnormalities should occur. Evidence-based data on its safety also demonstrates that it has the same level of stimulation as water, so no ill effects should be caused by accidental consumption.

Q. Can this product be used on bacteria and viruses?

A. The product breaks down all organic materials. How corrosive is the product? MA-T® reacts with specific organic materials and does not react with inorganic solids. The product is largely made up of water, so it can cause rust on pure iron and other metals as would ordinary water. MA-T® should be considered to be equivalent to water in terms of its corrosive capabilities.

Q. How does the product achieve strong performance in breaking down harmful substances yet remain harmless to the human body?

A. The product uses oxygen to oxidize and break down substances, so it acts quickly and breaks down substances right away. The concentration has been formulated to break down single-celled organisms. This formulation allows it to be effective against harmful substances while not being strong enough to affect the human body.

Q. MA-T® is effective against organic matter and does not react to inorganic materials. Why does it break down hydrogen sulphide?

A. MA-T® will react to CHONPS substances. This means that inorganic compounds, composed of CHONPS, also possess properties as organic material. Many components of odor are these six elements broken down.
