Description

Magnesium Hypochlorite is an inorganic chemical compound valued for its potent oxidizing and bleaching properties. This compound is a critical reagent in industrial processes where controlled oxidation and disinfection are required. It serves key functions in water treatment, pulp and paper manufacturing, and as a specialized bleaching agent in various chemical syntheses.

Application

• Industrial Water Treatment: Used as a powerful oxidizing biocide and disinfectant for cooling towers, process water, and wastewater systems.
• Pulp & Paper Bleaching: Acts as a bleaching agent in the production of high-brightness paper pulp, particularly in sequences requiring specific oxidative conditions.
• Textile Processing: Employed in the bleaching and sanitization of natural and synthetic textiles to remove color and impurities.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a selective oxidizing agent in the production of fine chemicals and pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Surface Disinfection: Formulated into industrial-grade cleaners and sanitizers for hard surfaces in food processing and healthcare facilities.
• Algae Control: Applied in managing algal blooms in industrial ponds and recreational water bodies.

Quality Control

Our Magnesium Hypochlorite is manufactured under strict quality protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Quality is verified through a series of analytical tests including assay, impurity profiling, and stability checks. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, available chlorine content, and other critical parameters is provided with each shipment to guarantee compliance with your technical requirements.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and incompatible materials such as acids, reducing agents, and organic compounds. Due to its nature as an oxidizer, isolate from flammable and combustible materials. The product is easily oxidized and moisture-sensitive; optimal storage temperature is between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F).
