Sodium Hypochlorite is a highly stabilised solution and powerful biocide that is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria. A complete disinfectant for all surfaces, Sodium Hypochlorite is praised for being a general all-purpose sterilant for dairy farm use, dairy equipment and a multitude of other environments. With its minimal chlorine evaporation, Red Label Hypochlorite has a much improved shelf life. Sodium Hypochlorite can be used in conjunction with a detergent powder, but should not be mixed with acidic products.

Chlorine source for shock treatment of pools and spas. Ideal for treatment of heavily used pools, particularly those which are installed indoors. Suitable for direct dosing or for dosage using injection equipment. Alkaline – tends to raise pool water pH.

DOSE INFORMATION (SWIMMING POOLS)

To obtain maximum benefit from Liquid Chlorine, the pH of the pool water should be maintained around 7.5 and between 7.2 and 7.6 at all times. Above pH 7.6 the value of chlorine will be reduced. Use 600ml Liquid Chlorine per 100 cubic metres of pool water (10 fl oz. to 10,000 gallons) to raise the free chlorine level by approximately 1.0 ppm. This daily dose rate is offered as a general guide for private pools. Heavily used pools and those maintained at higher temperatures may require increased dosage. Test for actual requirements by using a pool side kit or test strip - adjusting the dose rate as necessary to maintain a minimum free chlorine level of 2.0 ppm.

SHOCK DOSING (SWIMMING POOLS)

To achieve an increase in free chlorine of approximately 5.0 ppm, add 3 litres of Liquid Chlorine to 100 cubic metres pool water (50 fluid oz. to 10,000 gallons).

• Food vending for restaurants and hotels
• Removing cement and mortar splashes, moss and algae, light oil stains and grease from brickwork, paving, tiles and concrete
• Efflorescence can also be removed with Sodium Hypochlorite, however this product must not be used on limestone or marble as the chemicals will attack the surface.

Application:

• Ensure gloves, overalls, boots and goggles are worn at all times during the application of Red Label Hypochlorite.
• Protect any metal surfaces and paint-work before application with polythene sheets and tape. Remove any excess dirt, mortar and debris etc. from the area with a stiff yard brush.
• If you are cleaning down brickwork, make sure you saturate area with water to prevent damage to mortar.
• We recommend before commencing a full clean down, that you test the Red Label Hypochlorite first on an inconspicuous area, diluted 2:1 water to cleaner.
• For normal use, dilute between 2 and 4 parts water to 1 part cleaner. Apply using a low pressure hose or by brush and allow solution to stand for 10-15 minutes, making sure however that the area does not dry out and is scrubbed occasionally with a stiff yard brush.
• Rinse the area thoroughly with large amounts of water (Do not add water to the neat cleaner, always add the cleaner to the water). If the stains persist, repeat the process and/or use the cleaner undiluted, making sure to first test the neat cleaner on an inconspicuous area.
• When removing efflorescence, use a 4:1 water to cleaner dilution. Always use a plastic container for diluting this product.
