Parameter Category | Specific Parameter | Typical Value/Description |
Basic Information | Chemical Name | Sodium Hypochlorite |
| Chemical Formula | NaClO |
Physical Properties | Appearance | Clear to pale yellow liquid; slight chlorine odor |
| Density (20℃) | 1.10 - 1.25 g/cm³ (depends on concentration) |
Chemical Indices | Active Chlorine Content | Industrial grade: 10% - 15%; Household bleach: 3% - 8% |
| Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) Content | 0.5% - 2.0% (stabilizer to prevent decomposition) |
Performance Parameters | Disinfection Efficacy | Kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi; effective in low concentrations |
| Stability | Decomposes in light/heat; shelf life short (3-6 months for industrial grade) |
Safety & Storage | Hazard Class | Corrosive (causes skin/eye burns); releases toxic Cl₂ gas when mixed with acids |
| Storage Condition | Store in dark, cool area (5-30℃); use opaque, plastic containers; keep away from acids |
1. Water Disinfection: Sodium Hypochlorite Solution is widely used in drinking water and wastewater treatment to kill harmful bacteria, viruses, and pathogens, ensuring water safety.
2. Surface Sanitization: In healthcare facilities, restaurants, and homes, NaClO solution cleans and disinfects hard surfaces like tables, floors, and medical equipment to prevent cross-contamination.
3. Food Processing: Sodium Hypochlorite Solution is applied to sanitize food contact surfaces (e.g., cutting boards) and rinse fruits/vegetables, reducing microbial growth on food.
4.Laundry Bleaching: Diluted NaClO solution acts as a bleach in laundry to remove stains (e.g., coffee, ink) and whiten white fabrics, commonly used in household and industrial laundry.
5.Swimming Pool Maintenance: Sodium Hypochlorite Solution is added to swimming pools to maintain proper chlorine levels, inhibiting algae growth and keeping pool water clean.
