Sodium Hypochlorite 5 %
Sodium hypochlorite 5% is an effective solution consisting of an aqueous base and sodium hypochlorite with an active chlorine content of 5%. This composition allows a wide range of applications in various industries.
Frequently used in disinfection and cleaning, especially to combat bacteria, viruses and fungi. In water treatment, it is used to disinfect drinking water and swimming pool water. It is also used in the food industry to disinfect surfaces and equipment.
The chemical functioning of sodium hypochlorite 5% is based on the oxidizing power of the active chlorine, which is able to penetrate the cell walls of microorganisms and disrupt their metabolism. In aqueous solution, sodium hypochlorite partially dissociates to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-), which are responsible for the antimicrobial effect. In the process, unpleasant odors and discoloration can also be eliminated.
The special suitability of this solution lies in its adaptability and effectiveness in different applications. The moderate concentration of 5% active chlorine makes it suitable for both professional and domestic use, without compromising material compatibility too much. The solution thus offers an efficient and versatile option for disinfection and cleaning.
