Method of producing and applications of composition of hypochlorous acid

A method of preparing a stabilized composition of an antimicrobial hypochlorous acid solution comprising the steps of:

• a) providing an aqueous stock solution that contains an admixture of about 18 percent to about 22 percent solution A, about 1.0 percent to about 1.4 percent solution B, and about 70 percent to about 86 percent solution C,
• wherein said solution A contains about 13 percent sodium hypochlorite, said solution B contains about 33 percent hydrochloric acid, and said solution C is water,
• b) admixing said solution C and said solution A to yield solution E, wherein said solution E contains about 2 to about 3 percent sodium hypochlorite,
• c) forming said aqueous stock solution by admixing said solution E with said solution B, wherein said aqueous stock solution contains about 0.3 percent to about 0.5 percent hydrogen chloride,
• wherein said aqueous stock solution has (i) a pH value of about 4 to about 6, and (ii) an oxidation reduction potential of about 1100 m.v. to about 1450 m.v., said aqueous stock solution being maintained at ambient temperature in a sealed container in the dark for about 18 to about 30 hours to form an aged stock solution;
• and
• d) forming said antimicrobial hypochlorous acid solution by i) diluting said aged stock solution to provide a hypochlorous acid solution at a concentration of about 1500 to about 3000 ppm i) adjusting the pH value to about 2.8 to about 4.0, said antimicrobial hypochlorous acid solution, when sealed and in the dark (in the dark) at a temperature of about 18 to about 22° C., maintaining at least about 75 percent of the available chlorine present as hypochlorous acid over a period of about 6 months to about 12 months, wherein available chlorine present is first measured at a time within about 24 hours after formation of the antimicrobial hypochlorous acid solution.
