Chemical Profile

Product Overview

Sodium Hypochlorite 1% is a pre-diluted aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) prepared with high-purity deionized water. This 1% concentration provides a convenient, ready-to-use form that eliminates the need for on-site dilution of concentrated stock. Appearance: Pale yellow liquid with slight chlorine odor. This Technical Grade product is manufactured for industrial and commercial applications where high purity is required for consistent performance.

Supplied by Alliance Chemical in sizes ranging from 1 quart to 330-gallon IBC totes, this solution is ideal for operations requiring consistent 1% strength with minimal handling risk compared to higher concentrations.

PPE Requirements: Wear chemical-resistant gloves, splash goggles, and protective clothing. Avoid breathing vapors. In case of skin or eye contact, rinse immediately with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for detailed handling, storage, and emergency response procedures.
