Product Description

EINECS 231-668-3

Disinfection of the COVID-19 source should be done with a 0.1-0.5% sodium hypochlorite solution (WHO and Board of Health recommendation)

Description:

Sodium hypochlorite (sodium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite) is an inorganic compound, the sodium salt of hypochlorous acid. A trivial (historical) name for an aqueous solution of salt is “agua de labarraca” or “agua de boar”.

The compound in the free state is very unstable, it is generally used in the form of NaOCl 5H2O-pentahydrate or relatively stable aqueous solution, which has a characteristic strong chlorine odor and has high corrosive properties.

It has an antiseptic and disinfectant effect. It is used as a household and industrial bleaching and disinfecting agent, as a water purifying and disinfecting agent, and as an oxidizing agent in some industrial chemical production processes. As a bactericidal and sterilizing agent, it is used in medicine, food industry and agriculture.

Application in medicine.

In modern medical practice, sodium hypochlorite antiseptic solutions are mainly used for external and local use as an antiviral, antifungal and bactericidal agent in the treatment of skin, mucous membranes and wounds. Hypochlorite is active against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, most pathogenic fungi, viruses, and protozoa, although its efficacy is diminished in the presence of blood or its components.

In dentistry, sodium hypochlorite is most often used in endodontics as an antiseptic irrigating solution (0.5-5.25% NaOCl concentration). The popularity of NaOCl is determined by the general availability and low cost of the solution, as well as the bactericidal and antiviral effect against such dangerous viruses as HIV, rotavirus, herpes virus, hepatitis A and B. There is evidence for the use of sodium hypochlorite in the treatment of viral hepatitis: it has a wide range of antiviral, detoxification and antioxidant effects. NaOCl solutions can be used to sterilize certain medical equipment, patient care products, dishes, bedding, toys, rooms, hard furniture, and plumbing supplies. Due to its high corrosivity, hypochlorite is not used for metal tools and equipment. We also highlight the use of sodium hypochlorite solutions in veterinary medicine: they are used to disinfect livestock buildings.

industrial application.

Use as an industrial bleaching agent.

The use of sodium hypochlorite as a bleaching agent is one of the priority areas for industrial use, along with the disinfection and purification of drinking water.

Aqueous NaOCl solutions containing 10-12% of the active ingredient are generally used as a bleach for industrial purposes.

Sodium hypochlorite is widely used as a bleach and stain remover in the textile industry and in industrial laundries and dry cleaners. It can be safely used on many types of fabrics, including cotton, polyester, nylon, acetate, linen, viscose, and more. It is very effective in removing traces of dirt and various stains such as blood, coffee, herbs, mustard, red wine, etc.

Sodium hypochlorite is also used in the pulp and paper industry to bleach wood pulp. NaOCl bleaching generally follows the chlorination step and is one of the chemical wood treatment steps used to achieve high pulp whiteness. Fibrous semi-products are processed in special hypochlorite bleaching towers in an alkaline environment (pH 8-9), at a temperature of 35-40 °C, for 2-3 hours. During this process, the lignin is oxidized and chlorinated, as well as the chromophore groups of the organic molecules are destroyed.

Use as an industrial disinfectant.

It can be used in slaughterhouses, meat cutting rooms, fishing industry, poultry industry, prepared food industry, dairy, breweries, beverage industry and vegetable industry. To remove dirt from chicken, pork, beef, fish and vegetables. For work surfaces, floors, walls, machines and conveyors.

pH 14

The widespread use of sodium hypochlorite as an industrial disinfectant is mainly associated with the following areas:

disinfection of drinking water prior to its service in the city’s water supply distribution system;

disinfection of water and algaecide treatment in swimming pools and ponds;

purification of domestic and industrial wastewater, purification of organic and inorganic impurities;

in the brewing, wine and dairy industry – disinfection of systems, pipelines, tanks;

fungicidal and bactericidal treatment of cereals;

disinfection of water in fish ponds;

disinfection of technical premises.

Hypochlorite as a disinfectant is part of some automatic dishwasher utensils and other liquid synthetic detergents.
