CDS is a ready-made chlorine dioxide solution - MMS is only created through activation and mixing. This is precisely the most important difference.

Many people use the terms CDS and MMS are synonymous. Technically speaking, however, they are different systems.

👉 In this article you will learn:

• what CDS and MMS are exactly
• where the differences lie
• what role concentration and production play
• What to look out for in terms of quality and application

👉 Basics: What is CDS?

What is CDS?

CDS stands for chlorine dioxide solution. This is water in which chlorine dioxide gas (ClO₂) is already dissolved in a defined concentration - often 3000 ppm (0.3 %).

The solution is ready to use and can be sorted directly.

What is MMS?

MMS refers to a system consisting of two components that only react with each other through activation to form chlorine dioxide.

The actual solution is therefore only created immediately before use.

The most important difference

• CDS: Ready-to-use solution with defined concentration
• MMS: is only activated by mixing

CDS is immediately ready for use, whereas MMS must first be prepared.

Differences in handling

• CDS is ready for immediate use
• MMS requires preparation and precise mixing
• CDS offers a clearly defined concentration
• MMS can vary depending on the mixture
• CDS is easier to compare

Why concentration is crucial

A clearly defined concentration ensures comparability and transparency.

With CDS the concentration is usually stated directly - for example 3000 ppm or 0.3 %.

Quality and production

The production method has a considerable influence on the purity, concentration and stability of the solution.

Controlled production processes enable clearly defined and traceable quality.

Conclusion

CDS is a ready-made solution - MMS is a system for the production of chlorine dioxide.

Those who value ease of use, defined concentration and traceable quality usually opt for a ready-to-use chlorine dioxide solution.
