Applications
Sodium hypochlorite (12–15% available chlorine) is widely specified where oxidative disinfection or sanitation is required. Typical programs prioritize predictable delivery strength, safe handling, and compatible packaging/transport.
- Municipal and industrial water disinfection programs (site-specific requirements)
- Cooling tower sanitation routines (program dependent)
- Wastewater treatment oxidation/disinfection steps (where permitted)
- Surface sanitation and general bleaching applications (industrial routines)
Oxidation capability
Specified where an oxidizing agent is needed for sanitation or process conditioning steps.
Operational flexibility
Liquid format supports metered dosing and integration with bulk storage and transfer systems.
Use conditions, dosing strategy, and compliance requirements vary by application and jurisdiction. Always follow your water treatment program, on-site testing, and the supplied SDS.
Why programs specify 12–15% sodium hypochlorite
In procurement-driven water treatment, the goal is repeatable performance under safe handling and transport constraints. The most important commercial controls are delivery strength, stability expectations, and documentation readiness.
Strength-per-volume
12–15% available chlorine supports efficient logistics and storage footprint versus lower-strength solutions.
Operational integration
Works with common dosing setups (metering pumps, day tanks, bulk storage) under proper materials compatibility.
Spec-driven buying
Available chlorine, density/pH and impurity fields can be defined for repeat procurement and QA acceptance.
Documentation readiness
SDS/COA/TDS can be aligned to your site requirements, audits, and receiving procedures.
Sodium hypochlorite strength can decline over time depending on storage conditions. If your process requires tight strength at point-of-use, include your storage conditions and turnover rate in the inquiry.
Specification & grade selection framework
For sodium hypochlorite, “grade selection” is primarily about the available chlorine at delivery, expected stability under your storage conditions, and any impurity limits needed for your system. We align the best sourcing lane based on your use case and compliance requirements.
Available chlorine
Define required delivery range (e.g., 12–15%) and acceptance criteria on COA (where applicable).
Impurities
If required, specify limits for metals (e.g., iron) or insolubles depending on sensitivity of your system.
Logistics & packaging
Select drum/IBC/bulk based on consumption rate, storage constraints, and handling equipment.
Commercial controls that improve repeat orders
- Delivery strength range + COA fields aligned to your QA checklist
- Packaging, venting/caps, and labeling matched to your receiving SOP
- Lead time planning (seasonality, transport constraints, storage turnover)
- Documentation pack and language requirements (SDS/COA/TDS)
If you have a current COA/TDS from your existing supplier, share it in your inquiry for a like-for-like quotation.
Typical specifications & formats

pH profile
Alkaline (typical; confirm per lane)
Packaging
Drums, IBC, bulk (as applicable)
Documentation
SDS / COA / TDS available on request
Notes
Protect from heat/sunlight; keep away from acids; storage guidance on SDS
Indicative COA/TDS fields (example)
The table below lists typical procurement fields for sodium hypochlorite. Exact limits and reporting depend on the supply lane and end-use requirements.
| Property | Typical description | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Available chlorine | 12–15% at delivery (per agreement) | Primary performance control for disinfection/oxidation programs. |
| NaOCl (as product) | Reported by lane (as applicable) | Supports internal QA and calculations used in dosing programs. |
| pH (alkaline) | Reported range (as applicable) | Stability/compatibility indicator; important for safe handling and storage. |
| Density / specific gravity | Reported (as applicable) | Used for volume-to-mass conversions and receiving verification. |
| Chloride / chlorate (by spec) | Optional reporting/limits | May be relevant for certain applications and compliance requirements. |
| Metals (e.g., Fe) | Optional limits (if required) | Important for sensitive systems or where impurity control is required. |
| Appearance | Clear to pale yellow | Basic identity/acceptance check at receiving. |
Specifications may vary depending on batch, origin, and packaging selection. For critical applications, request documentation in advance and validate under your site procedures.
Handling & storage guidance
Sodium hypochlorite is a strong oxidizer. It can release chlorine-containing gases under certain conditions (especially if mixed with acids or incompatible chemicals). Proper PPE, ventilation, and compatible materials of construction are required. Always follow the supplied SDS and your internal EHS procedures.
PPE (typical)
Eye/face protection and chemical-resistant gloves; additional PPE as required by your risk assessment and transfer method.
Storage
Store cool and shaded, away from heat and direct sunlight. Keep containers closed and use appropriate venting/closures as specified.
Compatibility
Keep away from acids, ammonia, reducing agents, and many metals unless your system is designed for compatibility.
If your site has specific storage constraints (temperature, ventilation, secondary containment, unloading equipment), include them in your inquiry so packaging and delivery can be aligned.

FAQ
Common technical and procurement questions for sodium hypochlorite (12–15%).
What does “available chlorine” mean?
It’s the standard way to express hypochlorite oxidizing strength for disinfection applications. Procurement often specifies an available chlorine range at delivery and verifies it via COA and/or onsite testing.
Does the strength change over time?
Strength can decline depending on temperature, light exposure, contamination, and storage duration. If you require tight point-of-use strength, plan inventory turnover and storage conditions accordingly.
Do you provide SDS/COA/TDS?
Yes—documentation is available on request and depends on grade and supply lane.
Which packaging should I choose?
Choose based on your consumption rate, storage capacity, unloading equipment, and delivery route constraints. Share these details and we’ll recommend the most practical lane.
Any important incompatibilities?
Hypochlorite is an oxidizer and must be kept away from acids and other incompatible chemicals. Always follow the SDS and your site EHS procedures.
