HOCL has been of interest to Scientists, Doctors and Researchers for over 200 years!
Hypochlorous acid (HOCL) was identified by Sir Humphry Davy in 1811. In 1823, a student of Sir Humphry, Michael Farraday managed to isolate HOCL by electrolysis by passing a current through a saline solution.
During World War 1, HOCL was being used to irrigate wounds where field labs could be established. It was noted that treated soldiers recovered in half the time as non-treated soldiers.
