Sodium Percarbonate is a white, granular or powdery substance that releases oxygen when dissolved in water. It is a key ingredient in many oxygen bleach products and is typically odorless, making it ideal for a wide range of cleaning applications.
Uses: Commonly used as an oxygen-based bleach in laundry detergents, Sodium Percarbonate is also an effective disinfectant, deodorizer, and stain remover. It’s widely found in eco-conscious cleaning products because it breaks down into safe byproducts after use.
Industrial Applications: In industrial and commercial settings, Sodium Percarbonate is used in laundry detergents, carpet cleaners, and stain removers. It's also a popular disinfectant and green cleaning ingredient. Once activated, it decomposes into water, oxygen, and sodium carbonate, offering an environmentally safer alternative to chlorine-based products.
Safety and Handling: While safe when used properly, Sodium Percarbonate may irritate skin or eyes in concentrated form. Avoid ingestion or inhalation. Always use PPE like gloves and safety goggles, and work in a well-ventilated space. If skin or eye contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical advice if irritation persists.
