Sodium Hypochlorite: Disinfection and Industrial Applications

Industrial use of sodium hypochlorite (Javelwasser) for disinfection purposes

Javelwasser MP 010751, also known as sodium hypochlorite solution, is a powerful disinfectant widely used across industrial processes. From surface sanitation to wastewater treatment and food industry hygiene, its antimicrobial and oxidizing properties make it ideal for companies needing to meet strict hygiene standards. This article explores its main industrial applications and the benefits compared to alternative disinfectants.

What is Sodium Hypochlorite (Javelwasser)?

Sodium hypochlorite is a water-based NaOCl solution with strong oxidizing capacity. It appears pale yellow with a sharp odor and provides broad-spectrum disinfection against bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Industrial concentrations range between 12–15% and are compliant with REACH regulations. It’s widely used for disinfection, deodorization, and bleaching.

ECSA Chemicals supplies it in IBC tanks, drums or canisters, ADR-compliant and accompanied by full documentation.
