Common Uses for Sodium Hypochorite
Sodium Hypochlorite is the main ingredient in water and wastewater treatment and sanitary equipment. Also used in food processing, sodium hypochlorite is used to sanitize food preparation equipment, in fruit and vegetable processing, mushroom production, hog, beef and poultry production, maple syrup production, and fish processing.

The use of chlorine-based products
Hypochlorite-based products include liquid (sodium
hypochlorite), solid or powdered (calcium hypochlorite)
formulations. These formulations dissolve in water to create
a dilute aqueous chlorine solution in which undissociated
hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is active as the antimicrobial
compound. Hypochlorite displays a broad spectrum of
antimicrobial activity and is effective against several
common pathogens at various concentrations. For example,
hypochlorite is effective against rotavirus at a concentration
of 0.05% (500 ppm), however, higher concentrations of 0.5%
(5000 ppm) are required for some highly resistant pathogens
in the health-care setting such as C. auris and C. difficile.
Hypochlorite is rapidly inactivated in the presence of organic
material; therefore, regardless of the concentration used, it is
important to first clean surfaces thoroughly with soap and
water or detergent using mechanical action such as scrubbing
or friction. High concentrations of chlorine can lead to
corrosion of metal and irritation of skin or mucous membrane,
