OTEX Ozone Laundry System - JLA Ltd
OTEX is an ozone disinfection laundry system, which has been developed by JLA. OTEX automatically delivers a consistent and effective concentration of ozonated water throughout the wash process via a patented interfusor. Utilising ozone in the wash liquor throughout the cycle allows the process to be carried out at much lower wash temperatures to achieve disinfection.
Microbiological data has been accrued over the years to support the disinfection properties of this process and its effectiveness at the destruction of a wide range of bacteria and viruses, including even spore forming bacteria such as Clostridium difficile. It is a powerful biocide and fungicide, its oxidising strength is second only to fluoride. Ozone disinfection properties are well recognised and documented, dating back to the early 1900s. However, its use to process laundry is a new development, which is being increasingly deployed in the healthcare environment, with over 1000 sites currently using the OTEX System, including 72 NHS Trusts.
