Industrial Grade Price Aluminium Chlorohydrate 50% Yellow Liquid Sodium HypochloriteDisinfectant
Sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) is widely used in disinfection, bleaching, and water treatment. In water treatment, it can disinfect drinking water, treat wastewater, and disinfect swimming pools. As a disinfectant, it is used in healthcare, food processing, and household cleaning (e.g., bleaching). In industrial applications, it can be used as a bleaching agent for textiles and paper, and as an oxidant in chemical synthesis. It is also used in agriculture to disinfect crops and soil, and in aquaculture to disinfect water. In addition, it plays a role in emergency situations, such as decontamination during nuclear accidents or epidemics. Due to its corrosive and reactive nature, correct handling is essential. Avoid mixing with acids to prevent the release of toxic chlorine gas.
