Sodium Hypochlorite 12 to 15 Percent
Category: Oxidizers and Explosive Chemicals
Description
Sodium hypochlorite solution is widely used for industrial disinfection water treatment and sanitation applications.
Appearance: Typically a pale greenish-yellow liquid with a pungent, chlorine-like odour.
Stability: Highly unstable and degrades naturally over time. It loses active chlorine faster when exposed to heat, sunlight (UV), and air.
Storage: Should be stored in cool, dark locations in vented HDPE containers.
Safety Precautions:
Classified as corrosive and can cause severe skin and eye burns.
Never mix with ammonia or acids, as this releases toxic chloramine or chlorine gases.
Use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including gloves and eye protection.
