Alliance Chemical is a bulk sodium hypochlorite supplier stocking eight strengths from 1% to 12.5% (NaOCl, CAS 7681-52-9) in Water Treatment and Technical grades, packaged from single quarts to 55-gallon drums and 275- and 330-gallon IBC totes. A 55-gallon drum starts at $315 and a 275-gallon tote at $1,440, every order ships from our warehouse in Taylor, Texas with no hazmat fee and no minimum order, and most in-stock orders leave in 1–2 business days.
Choose a strength and grade
The grade on each product page is the grade in the certificate — Water Treatment Grade for the 12.5% and 5.25% solutions, Technical Grade for the rest, stated per SKU and never inferred. Higher strength means fewer gallons to move the same available chlorine, but it also means faster degradation in storage and stricter handling — most buyers pick the strongest solution their dosing equipment and turnover rate can actually use.
Drum and tote pricing
These are the live single-container prices as of 2026-08-17 — the same prices in the cart, with per-gallon economics at the volume breaks. A 55-gallon drum of 12.5% Water Treatment Grade is $427 ($7.76/gal), and a 275-gallon tote brings it to $6.70/gal. Quarts, 15-gallon drums, 330-gallon totes, case packs, and pallet quantities are priced on each product page; standing-order volume is quoted at 512-365-6838.
Freshness matters more than price
Sodium hypochlorite is not shelf-stable: available chlorine declines from the day it is made, and heat, sunlight, and metal contamination all accelerate the loss. Buy the quantity you will consume in a season rather than a year, store it cool and out of direct light in vented HDPE, and rotate stock first-in-first-out. A lot-specific Certificate of Analysis is available for every product in this collection through the COA request page.
How sodium hypochlorite ships
Sodium hypochlorite solution is a DOT-regulated corrosive: UN1791, Hypochlorite solution, Hazard Class 8. Quarts and gallons ship by ground parcel; drums and totes move as LTL corrosive-class freight from Taylor, Texas on our regular carriers. Alliance Chemical does not add a hazmat fee at any package size — the price on the page is the price.
Handle it like the oxidizer it is
Never mix sodium hypochlorite with acids — the reaction releases chlorine gas. Never mix it with ammonia or ammonia-containing cleaners — that produces chloramine vapors. Keep it away from metals, reducing agents, and organic solvents, use compatible transfer equipment (PVC, CPVC, HDPE, Viton), and review the Safety Data Sheet before handling. Secondary containment is standard practice for drum and tote storage.
Common applications
-
Municipal and industrial water treatment: 12.5% solution is the standard liquid chlorination feed for drinking-water systems, wastewater plants, and cooling towers, dosed by metering pump. See where 12.5% sodium hypochlorite is used.
-
Pressure washing and exterior cleaning: 10% and 12.5% solutions are the base of professional soft-wash and roof-cleaning blends.
-
Bleaching: textile, laundry, and pulp operations run 6–12.5% solutions as oxidative bleaching stock.
-
Chemical processing: an oxidizer and chlorine source in synthesis and effluent-treatment chemistry — compare hydrogen peroxide vs sodium hypochlorite and sodium hydroxide vs sodium hypochlorite for choosing between chemistries.
