Available Concentrations of Sodium Hypochlorite
Hazchem supplies two industrial grades of Sodium Hypochlorite to meet the demands of different applications across UAE and GCC:
Sodium Hypochlorite 10% (NaOCl 10%)
Our 10% NaOCl solution is used for municipal drinking water disinfection, potable water treatment, general industrial sanitation, and food-grade hygiene applications. Cost-effective and reliable for large-scale continuous dosing systems.
Sodium Hypochlorite 12–15% (High-Strength NaOCl)
Our 12–15% high-strength NaOCl is formulated for wastewater treatment plants, industrial cooling towers, and high-volume disinfection operations where greater active chlorine concentration is required per unit volume, reducing dosing volumes and storage footprint.
What is Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)?
Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) — also known as liquid bleach or chlorine bleach — is an inorganic chemical compound (CAS: 7681-52-9) and one of the most widely used industrial disinfectants in the world. It is produced by dissolving chlorine gas in sodium hydroxide solution and supplied as a pale yellow liquid in active chlorine concentrations of 10% to 15%.
In water, Sodium Hypochlorite releases hypochlorous acid (HOCl) — the active disinfectant species that penetrates and destroys microbial cell walls, eliminating bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and algae. Its effectiveness, ease of handling, and relatively low cost make it the preferred disinfectant for water treatment, sanitation, and industrial cleaning across the UAE and GCC.
Hazchem Chemicals LLC supplies Sodium Hypochlorite 10% and 12–15% with consistent active chlorine quality and reliable bulk availability for municipal and industrial customers throughout the region.
NaOCl is a versatile disinfectant and oxidising agent serving critical roles across a wide range of industries in the UAE and GCC.

Chemical Properties of Sodium Hypochlorite
Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl) is a strong oxidising agent and base that dissolves completely in water. When dissolved, it undergoes hydrolysis to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Hypochlorous acid is the active disinfecting species — it penetrates microbial cell walls and oxidises essential cellular components, rapidly destroying bacteria, viruses, algae, and other pathogens.
NaOCl degrades over time, particularly when exposed to heat, light, or contamination. At 12–15% concentration stored properly below 25°C, active chlorine decreases approximately 0.5–1% per month. For critical water treatment applications, active chlorine levels should be tested regularly and fresh stock ordered on a rotation basis.
Due to its strongly alkaline nature (pH 11–13), Sodium Hypochlorite is corrosive to skin and eyes and must be handled with appropriate PPE and stored in HDPE or chemically resistant containers only.
Benefits of Sodium Hypochlorite in Water Treatment
Safer to handle and store than chlorine gas — no pressurised cylinders or specialist equipment required
Works effectively across a wide pH range for water treatment applications
Simple liquid dosing — compatible with standard chemical dosing pumps
Internationally approved for municipal drinking water disinfection
Cost-effective disinfectant with reliable bulk supply availability in UAE
Effective for both primary disinfection and residual maintenance in distribution systems
Sodium Hypochlorite Packaging Options
Hazchem Chemicals LLC supplies Sodium Hypochlorite in multiple packaging formats to meet the requirements of different industries and project scales across UAE and GCC:
25 L Jerry Cans — Ideal for small-scale operations, laboratories, pool maintenance, and hygiene applications

All containers are chemically compatible with NaOCl and comply with UAE and international chemical handling and transport standards. Contact us for volume pricing and lead times.
Storage and Safe Handling of Sodium Hypochlorite
Storage Requirements
Sodium Hypochlorite should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and UV light. Exposure to high temperatures or contamination causes decomposition, reducing active chlorine concentration and shelf life. Always use corrosion-resistant HDPE tanks or approved chemical storage vessels — never metallic containers, as NaOCl corrodes metals and accelerates breakdown. Ensure secondary containment bunding for all bulk storage.
Safe Handling
Sodium Hypochlorite is a corrosive, strongly alkaline chemical. Always wear appropriate PPE including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles or face shield, and acid/alkali-resistant protective clothing. Avoid skin and eye contact. In case of contact, rinse immediately with large amounts of water. Ensure adequate ventilation in all handling areas.
Critical Incompatibilities
Never mix Sodium Hypochlorite with acids (such as hydrochloric acid) — this releases toxic chlorine gas. Never mix with ammonia-based chemicals — this produces hazardous chloramine gases. Both scenarios are life-threatening. Always follow safe storage and handling practices as per the SDS.

Key Terms — Sodium Hypochlorite Glossary
Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)
An inorganic chemical compound and powerful liquid disinfectant used in water treatment, sanitation, and bleaching. CAS: 7681-52-9.
Active Chlorine
The percentage of available chlorine in a Sodium Hypochlorite solution that acts as the disinfecting agent. Higher active chlorine concentration means greater disinfecting strength per volume.
