VWR Sodium Hypochlorite 14% Cl2 Technical

Description

Sodium hypochlorite 14% Cl₂ in aqueous solution, technical grade, is a corrosive chlorine-releasing solution supplied for laboratory use. Sodium hypochlorite solutions release active chlorine, which gives them their bleaching and oxidising action. This solution is not stabilised, so its strength falls during storage and its handling needs to account for both its corrosive hazards and its declining strength over time.

Key Features

• Technical-grade aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite, identified as 14% Cl₂ in the product name.
• Not stabilised, so the solution normally loses strength during storage.
• Identity confirmed by a specification entry that passes the identification test.
• Classified as corrosive, causing severe skin burns and serious eye damage.

Applications

• Laboratory work where a 14% Cl₂ sodium hypochlorite solution is required, handled with protective gloves and eye protection.
• Storage in a corrosion-resistant container with a resistant inner liner, kept in its original container.

Specifications

• CAS number 7681-52-9; formula NaClO; UN 1791; ADR class 8, packing group II.
• Hazard statements H314 and H318 (severe skin burns and serious eye damage), H290 (may be corrosive to metals) and H411 (toxic to aquatic life with long-lasting effects).
• Boiling point 111 °C at 1013 hPa.
