Highlights—
10% w/v available chlorine. high-strength concentrate for dilution into working disinfectant, surface bleach, and effluent treatment solutions — not a ready-to-use retail bleach.
Broad-spectrum oxidising action. effective against bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores at appropriate contact time and dilution — the reference-standard disinfectant active for high-risk environments.
Dual-purpose formulation. functions as both a disinfectant (at lower dilution) and a bleaching/whitening agent (at higher concentration) for lab glassware, drains, and hard surfaces.
Stabilised alkaline carrier. alkaline pH slows chlorine off-gassing and extends shelf stability versus unstabilised hypochlorite solutions.
Cost-effective at scale. one of the lowest per-litre-of-disinfectant costs available — dilutable to very high working volumes for institutional and industrial use.
The chemistry—
How does sodium hypochlorite disinfect, and why does concentration and contact time matter so much? In water, sodium hypochlorite establishes an equilibrium between hypochlorite ion (OCl⁻) and hypochlorous acid (HOCl). HOCl is the dominant active species responsible for microbial kill — it penetrates cell walls and oxidises proteins, enzymes, and nucleic acids, disrupting cellular function irreversibly.
The proportion of HOCl versus OCl⁻ is pH-dependent: lower pH favours HOCl and faster kill, while the alkaline carrier in this concentrate trades some of that speed for storage stability, since HOCl decomposes faster than the stabilised hypochlorite form. This is why diluted working solutions should be prepared fresh and used within the timeframe stated on the TDS rather than stored long-term.
Because hypochlorite is a strong non-selective oxidiser, it is also corrosive to many metals and reactive with ammonia-based cleaners and acids, producing hazardous gases — this is the basis for the chemical incompatibility warnings below, and is a genuine safety consideration in mixed-chemical storage areas.
Application & usage—
General disinfection. Dilute 1:50 in water (approx. 1000 ppm available chlorine) for routine hard-surface and drain disinfection. Allow 10 minutes contact time, then rinse.
High-risk decontamination. Dilute 1:10 for spill decontamination or high-risk surface disinfection. Allow minimum 10–20 minutes contact time per facility protocol.

Caution & storage—
- Corrosive concentrate — always dilute in a ventilated area before use.
- Never mix with acids, ammonia, or other cleaning chemicals — releases hazardous chlorine gas.
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling concentrate.
- In case of eye or skin contact, rinse immediately with copious clean water for 15 minutes and seek medical advice.
- Keep out of reach of children.
- Store in original sealed container below 25°C, away from direct sunlight and incompatible chemicals.
