Available Concentrations of Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite 10% (NaOCl 10%)

Our 10% Sodium Hypochlorite solution is widely used for municipal water treatment, potable water disinfection, and general industrial sanitation applications. It is a cost-effective and reliable disinfectant for large-scale water systems and food-grade hygiene applications.

Sodium Hypochlorite 12-15% (High Strength NaOCl)

Our 12-15% high-strength Sodium Hypochlorite solution is formulated for demanding applications including wastewater treatment plants, industrial cooling towers, and high-volume disinfection operations. The higher active chlorine content delivers more effective microbial control per unit volume, making it preferred for industrial-scale use.

Sodium Hypochlorite Applications

Water Treatment & Disinfection

Sodium Hypochlorite is one of the most widely used chemicals for disinfecting drinking water, potable water supplies, and industrial water systems. It effectively eliminates bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, ensuring safe water for municipal distribution and industrial use across the UAE.

Swimming Pool Sanitation

NaOCl is a primary disinfectant for commercial and residential swimming pools. It controls bacteria, algae, and microbial contamination, maintaining safe and hygienic water conditions compliant with UAE health and safety standards.

Cooling Tower Treatment

In industrial cooling systems, Sodium Hypochlorite prevents biofouling, Legionella growth, and microbial contamination that can reduce system efficiency and pose health risks. It is widely used by facilities management and industrial operators across the UAE and GCC.

Wastewater Treatment

Sodium Hypochlorite is used in municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants for effluent disinfection prior to discharge, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations.

Industrial & Food Processing Cleaning

As a powerful disinfectant and bleaching agent, NaOCl is used in food processing facilities, hospitals, pharmaceutical plants, and manufacturing operations where strict hygiene and microbial control are essential.

What is Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl)?

Sodium Hypochlorite (NaOCl), commonly known as liquid bleach or chlorine bleach, is an inorganic chemical compound with the formula NaOCl (CAS: 7681-52-9). It is a powerful disinfectant and oxidizing agent produced by dissolving chlorine gas in sodium hydroxide solution, available as a pale yellow liquid in active chlorine concentrations of 10% to 15%.

In water treatment systems, Sodium Hypochlorite plays a critical role in eliminating harmful bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and algae. It helps maintain safe and hygienic water conditions in municipal water supplies, cooling towers, swimming pools, and wastewater treatment plants across the UAE and GCC.

Sodium Hypochlorite works by releasing hypochlorous acid (HOCl) when dissolved in water — the active disinfectant species that penetrates and destroys microbial cell walls. Its effectiveness, ease of handling, and relatively low cost make it one of the most widely used industrial disinfectants globally.

Due to its powerful disinfectant and oxidizing properties, Sodium Hypochlorite is widely used in hospitals, food processing facilities, pharmaceutical plants, and manufacturing industries where hygiene and microbial control are essential regulatory requirements.

• 1000 L IBC Tanks – Designed for large industrial operations and treatment plants
• Bulk Supply – Available for major industrial projects, municipalities, and water authorities requiring tanker deliveries

All packaging materials are chemically compatible with Sodium Hypochlorite and comply with relevant UAE and international chemical handling and transport standards. We ensure safe handling, proper labeling, and reliable delivery to your site across UAE and GCC.

Storage and Handling of Sodium Hypochlorite

Sodium Hypochlorite should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Exposure to high temperatures, UV light, or contamination can cause decomposition, reducing the active chlorine concentration and shelf life of the solution.

Always store Sodium Hypochlorite in corrosion-resistant containers such as HDPE tanks or approved chemical storage vessels. Avoid metallic containers as NaOCl can corrode metals and accelerate decomposition. Recommended storage temperature is below 25°C.

Proper personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves, eye protection (goggles or face shield), and protective clothing should be worn when handling Sodium Hypochlorite. Ensure adequate ventilation in all handling areas.

Important: Never mix Sodium Hypochlorite with acids (such as hydrochloric acid) or ammonia-based chemicals. Mixing with acids releases toxic chlorine gas, and mixing with ammonia produces chloramine gases — both of which are highly hazardous. Always follow safe chemical storage and handling practices as per your SDS (Safety Data Sheet).

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.

Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl)

The active disinfectant species released when Sodium Hypochlorite dissolves in water. HOCl penetrates and destroys microbial cell walls, making it the primary mechanism of NaOCl disinfection.

Biofouling

The accumulation of microorganisms, algae, and other biological material on surfaces in contact with water. Sodium Hypochlorite is widely used to prevent biofouling in cooling towers and industrial water systems.

IBC Tank (Intermediate Bulk Container)

A 1000-litre reusable industrial container used for transporting and storing bulk liquid chemicals such as Sodium Hypochlorite.
