Sodium Hypochlorite

Wanted to ask all the experts on the board if industrial bleach is safe to use. I found that I could buy WD laundry Bleach Chlorine by the 55 drum close by.

It is 15% concentrate. If its safe to use how to dilute it and at what ratios?

Thanks,

Just becareful about buying such a large batch. It will go bad with sunlight and time. Safer buying it in smaller quantities even if it costs more.

I'm not use to anything but house hold bleach and was just wondering if you would mix it just like you would 12.5% bleach. It seems that 15% would be alot stronger.

When my pool supply place gets it its around 14%, just mix with water and soap and you should be fine 1 gallon 15% the rest water

15% is 20%. stronger than 12.5%. The percentages are the amount of sodium hypochorite that is in the solution. 12.5% is 12.5% SH and 87.5% inert ingredients (usually just water). 15% is 15% SH and 85% inert ingredients.

It will also burn your skin 20% more too. Be careful the 12% can be nasty enough as it is.
