Amuchina is an Italian sanitizing liquid solution produced by Angelini Industries. The solution, based on sodium hypochlorite, is reported to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria, fungi and viruses.[1] The brand was invented by Oronzio De Nora in 1923.[2] It was acquired by Angelini in 2000.[3] The product is produced in two of Angelini's production lines, one in Ancona, Italy and the other near Switzerland.[4]

History

The solution was invented by Oronzio De Nora and patented while he was a student at Politecnico di Milano in 1923.[2] He sold the patent prior to founding De Nora.[2] The name is inspired by the Greek word for scratch or abrasion.[5]

The product was widely used to prevent tuberculosis starting with the 1939 epidemic.[6] It's use was largely at pharmacies and hospitals until it gained wide popularity during the cholera epidemic in the 1980s.[3] It was also used in the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak and H1N1 in 2009.[7]

The solution played a big role in Italy's response to the Coronavirus pandemic where shortages were reported.[4] 7,000 dispensers of Amuchina were added to Trenitalia trains in 2021 in a partnership between the train company and Angelini.[8][9] De Nora also invented machines to Codogno to produce sodium hypochlorite.[10]

An artist[who?] has used Amuchina to paint.[11][importance?]
