PURE OXYGEN BLEACH POWDER

Technical Grade   - CAS 15630-89-4

Also known as Sodium Carbonate Peroxyhydrate, Dry Hydrogen Peroxide powder or oxygen bleach powder is a free-flowing, white powder. It is an addition compound of sodium carbonate and hydrogen peroxide. Percarbonate has an active available oxygen content (13%) which is equivalent to 27.5% Hydrogen peroxide. It breaks down to oxygen, water and sodium carbonate upon decomposition. It is an environmentally safe bleaching agent. Sodium Percarbonate / oxygen bleach offers many of the same functional benefits as liquid hydrogen peroxide. It dissolves into water rapidly to produce hydrogen peroxide and release oxygen and provides powerful cleaning, bleaching, stain removal and deodorizing capabilities in addition to being effective at killing bacteria, fungus, viruses and algae. It has the added advantage of having no odour.

Water Treatment using Sodium Percarbonate:

Sodium percarbonate is a quick oxygen-releasing agent, it can release a large of oxygen into water and increase the oxygen concentration of water for a long period of time. At the same time, it can improve the water quality and degrade the organic matter of water to reduce the toxicity of ammonia, nitrogen, H2S and algae. Applications for sodium percarbonate include treatment of biological upsets in ponds, treatment of sludges, municipal sewage treatment, dechlorination and water softening. In sewage treatment SPC helps to reduce the chemical oxygen demand and improve biodegradability. It neutralises pollutants such as sulphides, nitrosamines, amides, chlorine and thiosulphate. NB. Not for use in drinking water.
